Ingredients
  

  • 3 generous tablespoons ghee or substitute, see notes
  • 2-3 cloves garlic crushed lightly (I leave the skin on for this)
  • 50 g ginger finely sliced
  • 1 fennel bulb root to tip, sliced relatively finely
  • 3-4 large carrots sliced relatively finely
  • 1/2 bunch of kale roughly chopped
  • 100 g oyster mushrooms chopped
  • 50 g shiitake mushrooms chopped
  • any herbs you have on hand to taste
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes make sure to use the oil too, and check that they don’t contain onion or garlic
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar with the mother
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste I use genmai, just make sure it’s gluten free and real miso paste, no sugar etc
  • 2 tablespoons Tamari
  • 1 sheet kombu see notes on where to find it
  • 25 g wakame see notes on where to find it
  • 2 + tablespoons nutritional yeast to taste (optional)
  • 4 cups strong freshly brewed green tea
  • 8 cups water
  • Lots of freshly cracked black pepper
  • Sea salt to taste (you might not need any, I like salty broth)

Instructions
 

  • Add the ghee to a large pot over a medium heat, and allow to warm. Once warm, add the garlic, and allow to cook for around 5-10 minutes, or until it is fragrant. Add the ginger, and continue to cook for another five or so minutes.
  • If you’re particularly worried about not finding it again, fish the garlic out now. I like to leave it in and remove it prior to adding the water, but you do you.
  • Add the chopped vegetables and turn the heat up to medium high. Stir well, and place a lid on to sweat them for a couple of minutes. Ideally, they will start to brown, adding additional flavour to the broth. Stir the vegetables to coat them in the flavouring.
  • Lower the heat, and add the apple cider vinegar, miso paste and Tamari to the pot. You might need to add a splash of water to ensure it doesn’t burn. You can start adding cups of water at any point you see fit. If you haven’t already, fish the garlic out now.
  • Add the remaining ingredients – nutritional yeast, seaweeds, green tea, water and seasoning. Stir well to combine. Place a lid on the broth, and allow it to cook over a low-medium heat for 25 or so minutes.
  • You can serve immediately, or allow to cool and store in the fridge or freezer. You can strain the broth and retain the vegetables for frittata, eat the vegetables, or maybe even blend the entire thing up.
