Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Carrots
  • 4 Celery Stalks
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1/2 Cup Parsley (or 1 handful)
  • 2 Potatoes
  • 2 Onion
  • 5 cloves Garlic
  • 10 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Prep the vegetables first. Scrub clean carrots, celery, zucchini and potatoes. Wash parsley and drain. Peel onions and garlic. Cut vegetables into large cubes and quarter potatoes.
  • Put water in slow cooker and turn on to low. Add vegetables to crock pot. Cook for 8 hours or longer. Overnight is best.
  • Pour the broth through a strainer. Discard the solids.
  • FREEZING TIPS: Make sure broth is cooled down before freezing. Make sure you leave room for expansion in container - do not fill all the way to the top. If using glass, I don't put the lids on tight until it is frozen.
