Being a new England'a I do this all the time. When I make my veggies during the week I keep my peelings in the fridge, including the onion skins to pop into this. It's free 'waste" that makes a great "taste"! You can quote me here if you like! We use up most everything. Thought it was our Old Yankee ways. Tight as the bark on a tree!

I so need to get into the habit of making broths (and lentils/beans/brown rice) in the pressure cooker to have on hand it is not even funny! Thanks for the shove! If freezing, what is the best way?

Thanks Dick. Indeed, the first time I wrote the post I mentioned that you can easily do it with just a regular soup pot, you don't really need a pressure cooker. It's just faster and perhaps produces a more intense broth, but a plain ol' pot works just fine. And yes, use this idea as just a format for quick soup — you can sub just about everything!

This sounds like a winner. Bet this could be altered to work with just about anything. I don't have a pressure cooker and with limited space don't plan on it but I would assume you could do this with just simmering the bones to make the broth just fine.

Sounds heavenly Bavaria. Haven't used a crockpot in ages, maybe it's time to revisit that tool. Absolutely zero space in my kitchen though …..

Homemade broth is the best, and that sounds like a great spice combo. Sometimes I will toss everything in the crockpot and set it for low overnight. Recently we roasted a pork shoulder in the oven and when I went to clean up the pan, I put 1/2" of water in and soaked it overnight in the frig–next morning, there was some delicious pork broth and a clean pan.
