When I first searched how to make vegetable stock I thought it might be a big procedure requiring lot of time. But when I actually made it, it was so easy and a good base for all soups and curries.
This vegetable stock can be used to thin out purees, can be added to all Vegetable Soups, curries, khichdi and Porridges.
This vegetable stock can be frozen and thawed when needed.

Hi Hema,
My baby is 6 months completed and he is not getting filled with milk alone. He cries for every half an hour. So, I give him 4 times of solid food instead of 2. Please advise me on this. I am confused about it.
Thanks

Which vegies I can use for vegetable stock as my baby is nine months old
Hello,
I made Vegetable stock as instructed by you. It tastes yummy. But for how long this can be kept in freezer. In How many days we need to finish this/life of veg stock ?
Dear Dharmi,
Happy to know you like it 🙂 You cna freeze it for 15 – 30 days, and thaw only the portion you need and not the entire batch
Cheers
Hema
