Fill the pot with water up to 2-inches below the rim. Cover, and bring to a boil.
  2. Decrease the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for at least 2 hours. As water evaporates and vegetables peek out, add more water.
  3. Strain the broth. Season with salt to taste.
  4. Let cool to room temperature. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days; or freeze for up to 4 months.
