Description

This vegan broth tastes just like beef broth with its meaty flavor--thanks to soy sauce, liquid smoke, and vegan Worcestershire sauce, plus tasty veggies and herbs.

1 yellow onion, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
4 cloves garlic, diced
12 cups water
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 bay leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 teaspoons liquid smoke

1 Saute onion in a large nonstick soup pot over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrots, leeks, and garlic; saute for 10 minutes. Add water, parsley, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
