Vegetable broth
Whenever I steam vegetables, I reserve the water, cool it and add it to my 'stock pot' in the freezer. This way, I always have home made vegetable broth. Just be sure not to use too much salt when steaming.
adding steamed veggie water
I did the same thing. I steamed green beans, cabbage, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli etc... in my bamboo steamer and used the reserved liquid to make this broth. When you steam, boil or even use some water to par-boil cabbage leaves to stuff the reserved water has so much vitamins and minerals in it that it is totally worth keeping to make a veggie broth.
artichoke broth
Always save the water from artichokes as well. They are most beneficial, but I cannot remember why. I just remember it was important to me. I do love them as well.. I sometimes just drink all the vegetable broth like green beans etc, and feel like I have had a small meal. If Dr. Kim knows , I would appreciate info on artichokes.
