How to make vegetable broth easy
The vegetable broth is a basic preparation that is used to flavor various dishes, including soups, sauces, stews and rice, among many others.
You can say that it is the equivalent of creating a "cubito de vegetales" natural way.
The most basic recipe for making vegetable stock consists only of 3 ingredients: carrot, onion and celery, not counting water. Do not put salt, pepper, or anything extra.
Once done, this vegetable broth will be flavored with herbs and spices that correspond to what you want to make as a final product.

Although the base preparation of the vegetable broth is with only 3 ingredients, you can do it with more things, which are totally optional, not at all indispensable. Depending on your final preparation, these extra aggregates can provide specific flavors. For example: if you put ginger on it, you would give the broth an Asian touch, and it would make it ideal for recipes of that style.
