Vegetable broth in a steamer

Description

Hearty and aromatic soup. Vegetable broth made in a steamer is incomparable to the broth you can prepare in an ordinary pot. I personally bought my steamer primarily for making broths—such delicious, clear, and at the same time rich broths can never be achieved in a regular pot. Here I explain how to cook vegetable broth in a steamer and what ingredients to use. This broth can be served as a first course or used later in preparing various other soups and main dishes. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Ingredients are quite simple and inexpensive, nothing unusual. If desired, you can change the proportions and combinations of vegetables—it won't be worse or better, just different.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    We cut all the ingredients, except for the sprouted soybeans, into small pieces at will. We put all the ingredients (well, except for the oil and spices) into a piece of gauze—this is done so that the vegetables do not fall into the broth during cooking.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Place the gauze with ingredients into the steamer, add green tea (mandatory), and a little salt.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Step 4

    Finally, add a little vegetable oil to the vegetables.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Pour water into a pot placed under the steamer—approximately 2 liters.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Place the steamer basket over the pot and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the broth for exactly 1 hour, covered.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Step 7

    After an hour, the broth will be almost ready. Now do the following: carefully remove the gauze with vegetables from the steamer, and without taking the vegetables out of the gauze, use a masher to squeeze out as much vegetable juice as possible. Naturally, do this over a bowl. Now you can discard the vegetables and mix the extracted vegetable juice with the broth. Bring the juice-enriched broth to a boil once again, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then remove from heat. Let it steep, covered, for about 10 minutes—and that's it, your vegetable broth made in a steamer is ready! :)
