Ingredients
About 1-gallon bag of vegetable scraps such as
- Garlic

- Carrots and green carrot tops
- Mushrooms and mushroom stems
- Celery
- Fresh or dried herbs – especially classic Italian herbs such as sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, oregano, and bay leaves.
- Avoid using bitter greens, broccoli, or cauliflower because it will make the broth bitter.

When cycle is complete, allow for slow natural release of pressure. Remove lid and strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Discard solids.
