Homemade No Sodium Vegetable Stock
I've never found a commercial vegetable stock/broth or dry seasoning that tastes good to me. Most are too salty or have flavors I don't enjoy. Unlike commercial vegetable stock or seasoning mixes, this recipe does not contain salt, and due to the few ingredients, it just tastes like good, fresh vegetables. Keep it frozen in small portions and you'll always have stock available.

Instant Pot: Place all ingredients in the Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Release the pressure manually. When the pressure has been released, open the pot and remove the thyme sprigs. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, process the ingredients until it becomes a thick and smooth sauce.

Place the concentrated stock into 2 tablespoon containers, such as small portion cups or ice cube trays. Freeze and use 1 cup for every cup of water. For a thinner, less concentrated stock, use 1 cube with 2 cups of water.
