This recipe makes a mild vegetable broth that you can use as a base for other recipes. In addition to sipping, this would be ideal for cooking low-FODMAP grains, such as rice and quinoa.

  1. Add the garlic-infused oil to a large pot and sauté the scallions and leek greens over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the water and remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the water is boiling, cover the pot and lower the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 1½ to 2½ hours or until flavorful.
