Balancing Broth:
Although cooked, this vegetable broth is very grounding and nutritious as a base for soups. It can also be consumed on its own. Being able to have something warm helps many people transition to a high raw food diet.
2 onions, skin left on
4 carrots, unpeeled
4 stalks celery
2 potatoes, skin on
2 cups broccoli
4 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup fresh chopped parsley
2 bay leaves
11/2-inch piece kombu seaweed
1 teaspoon each fresh thyme and basil (dried is also fine)
Pinch of cayenne pepper, if desired
Chop the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and broccoli into 1-inch cubes. Place in a stock pot, add remaining ingredients, cover with 10 cups pure alkaline water and bring to boil. Continue cooking over low heat for one hour. Cool, strain, discard the vegetables and store broth in an airtight container (glass mason jars are great) in your fridge. Keeps well for one week, or you can freeze.
