Store-bought, boxed vegetable stock is fine in a pinch. But nothing beats a batch of homemade stock simmered in your own kitchen. This recipe is also environmentally friendly, in that it uses bits and pieces of veggie scraps that would otherwise just end up in the compost bin. Simply save your veggie scraps in a reusable storage bag in the freezer until you have filled about a 1-gallon bag (8 to 10 cups).
