A simple, versatile recipe for Thermomix Vegetable Stock Concentrate that keeps well in the fridge or freezer - perfect for adding flavour to soups, stews, and more.
This version of Vegetable Stock Concentrate differs slightly from the one in the Everyday Cookbook. I use much less salt, so it freezes well, and I’ve added a somewhat different mix of vegetables.
You can, of course, use whatever leftover vegetables you have on hand. Still, this combination works exceptionally well in soups, curries, and casseroles. I always make a big batch and keep it in the freezer so it’s ready whenever I need it.
Top Tip
As a general guide, use about one tablespoon of stock paste per 500ml of water - but feel free to adjust to taste.

Hi Cheryl, I don't think it lasts too long in the fridge but will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. Kind regards, Vicki.

Tastes great! I added some ginger (I can never follow recipes 100%). It burnt a little at the bottom of the Thermomix.

That sounds great - will have to try adding ginger next time.
