Finding a good vegetable broth can sometimes be difficult. I really like the nice light flavor combination of these vegetables and seasonings, with the added richness of the lentils and mushrooms. Simple to make, you just simmer all together in a big, covered pot.

When it has cooled, I strain it and freeze the broth in one-cup portions; preferably in canning jars as they can go directly from the freezer to the microwave. It is handy to freeze some in an ice-cube tray to have small amounts for stir-frying without oil.
