<IngredientText>Different Vegetables Affect Stock Taste
If you want to get more creative, here&apos;s a brief overview of how a few common vegetables affect the taste of a stock.
Tomatoes add acidity and color
Mushrooms add meatiness
Carrots add sweetness
Potatoes add body
Greens like celery, broccoli, and green beans add earthiness.
Remember the stock will be used with other ingredients to make a soup, so adding too many flavors may make it difficult to change the taste in other recipes.
Mix Stock Ingredients Together
Once you have your ingredients, mix all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for at least an hour. Then simply strain out the vegetables.
With the stock, you can quickly make a wide variety of soups. We are going to use it in a simple vegetable soup.
