Unsalted vegetable broth
Unsalted vegetable broth brings gentle savory depth to soups and grains while leaving the final seasoning in your hands.
- A flexible base
- Vegetable broth is used as a cooking liquid for soups and risotto, and can carry the flavor of onion, celery, carrot and herbs.
- Season at the end
- An unsalted broth lets you adjust salt after the other ingredients have reduced or absorbed liquid.
Simmer vegetables gently
For a simple homemade broth, cover chopped vegetables such as onion, celery, carrot and leek with cold water. Bring slowly to a gentle simmer, cook until the liquid tastes rounded, then strain.
Add flavor without heaviness
Use vegetable broth to cook beans, loosen a soup or gradually enrich risotto. Add it warm so the pot keeps a steady simmer.
Choose an unsalted carton
Check the label for vegetable broth without added salt when you want to control seasoning. Compare the ingredient list if you are avoiding a particular vegetable or flavoring.
Chill promptly after opening
Refrigerate opened broth in a covered container and follow its package date and storage instructions.
