Directions Combine all ingredients in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 45 minutes. Strain without pressing hard on the vegetables. Cool promptly and refrigerate or freeze. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms and herbs keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Ikaria and Sardinia. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not presented as a traditional dish from either community.
Helpful Notes Save clean vegetable trimmings in the freezer until you have enough for a batch. Freeze cooled broth in measured portions so it is easy to use in recipes. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
