Steps:
- Add veggies, water, peppercorns, and bay leaves to your slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high 4-5 hours), until the broth is golden and the veggies are very tender.
- Remove the lid from the slow cooker and let the broth cool for a bit.
- Use a wooden spoon to gently press on the veggies in the slow cooker to release a little more flavor.
- Grab a large bowl and set a colander over the top. Make sure you're near your kitchen sink! Now carefully pour the mixture into the colander and discard the cooked veggies. Set a fine-mesh sieve over another bowl (or rinse your slow cooker out to use that). Pour the broth over the sieve to strain out the last bit of sediment.
- Add salt if desired.
- Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for about 5 days, or you can freeze it for later use. Freezer bags are the easiest. To thaw, pull it out of the freezer and place it in the fridge to thaw 12-24 hours ahead of time.
