i found this recipe easy to prepare and very fast. i substituted the herb seasoning with fresh herbs - sweet basil, rosemary, parsley and origanum. it came out with very intense aromas and flavours, which i like. i used is as a base for Minestrone Verde #24309 by Vic1 and was delighted by the flavours once again.

Very easy and adaptable to what you have in the fridge. I added baby bella mushrooms and fresh thyme, basil and rosemary. Wonderful, fresh and flavorful. Thanks!! -
I cannot find vegetable broth in either of our local grocery stores so I'm going to try this one. I will post an official review later... -
I was needing just a nice flavorful both and this hit the spot. I added mushrooms. YUMMY. -
This is an excellent and easy to do veggie broth. I just made it to use with my brine for the Thanksgiving day turkey. I didn't have the white cabbage on hand so I just used extra carrots, onion and potatoes and a little more seasoning. Thanks for the recipe.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
