Vegetable Broth

[Liss]

This broth is very alkaline and rich in minerals. It can be served as a simple soup, or used as a stock (as above) for cooking. Cook and save the potatoes and beets to use as a vegetable side dish or to add to soup.

# 2 cups red skinned potato peelings
# 3 cups celery stalk
# 2 cups celery tops
# 2 cups beet tops
# 1 small zucchini or yellow squash
# 2 cups carrots
# One small onion
# Sprig of parsley
# 2-1/2 quarts distilled water

Chop all vegetables into very fine pieces. Place in water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and refrigerate for future use.

Note: By cooking pearled barley in the finished broth with the addition of chopped vegetables, one can prepare a healthy soup for a first course.
