Wild Thyme – Potassium Broth

Potassium Broth

This is a great way to use vegetable peels instead of throwing them away. They contain a large amount of nutrients and are very beneficial to the body.

Ingredients:

• Peels from 6 potatoes, about 1/8” thick
• 4 stalks of celery, chopped small
• ½ bunch parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme or sage or a combination of each
• 2 medium carrots, peeled or sliced thin
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ lb mushrooms (Portobello, shitake, reship, emoki or oyster or a combination of each)
• 1 bunch dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach, collard, chard or other
• 3 – 1” slices ginger root
• 2 large onions, diced
• 3 beets with greens, chopped (optional)
• 1-4 jalapenos or a few dashes cayenne pepper
• 8-10 cups filtered water

Steps:

1. In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil.
2. Cut up all vegetables.
3. Turn water down to low and add remaining ingredients.
4. Allow to simmer for about 2 hours or until vegetables are tender.
5. Strain off liquid and allow to cool. Drink warm. Vegetables may be eaten with the broth or separately or used in a different recipe.
