Roasting and Sweating - Two ways to add more flavor to your broth are to roast the vegetables beforehand or to let them sweat (start to soften and release their liquids) for a few minutes over the heat before adding the water.

Saving Vegetables for Broth – Pl. keep a sealable bag in the freezer where you can throw vegetable odds and ends: vegetables that have wilted beyond saving, the green parts from leeks, trimmings from carrots, and so on. Once the bag gets full, use the contents to make broth.
