• You can serve your vegetable broth immediately. It is great for sipping to warm you on a cold day. Or, use it as a base for another dish. You can use this homemade vegetable broth to make vegetarian soup, gravy, risotto, stew, stir-fry, and more.
• Your vegetable broth will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator. Be sure to refrigerate it promptly. To keep it longer, freeze it in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Be sure to label it with the contents and the date. It can be convenient to freeze it in measures you usually use in your recipes, such as 1 cup, 2 cups, or 1 pint.
• Frozen vegetable broth should keep for four to six months in the freezer. It will still be safe to use after that point, but may not be at its peak quality.
Recipe Variation
• Omit the soy sauce if you need to make a broth for a gluten-free soup. It adds a nice extra flavor, but it's not really needed. Tamari, Bragg's, or nama shoyu can also be used in place of the soy sauce.
