Easy Green Broth

Submitted by cakeinmyface

"I'm currently making this for my dinner tomorrow. The trick is to cook it slowly. You can chuck all sorts in. It is best served with nice bread. I cheat and buy mine from the local health food shop--homemade organic yumsky bread. I found my broth mix in asda organics for about 50p, but you can use any dried broth mix (I think mine contains red lentils, barley flakes, green lentils, pearl barley etc.)"
