🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Using homemade broth can be healthier and cheaper.

Add 3 oxtails and beef bones to the slow cooker.

Cover the oxtails and bones with water.

Add 5 large garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add 1 tablespoon of Himalayan pink salt and a little bit of black pepper.

Pop the lid on the slow cooker.

Cook on low heat for at least 24 hours or on high heat for 12 to 15 hours.

After 2-3 hours, remove any foam that forms on the surface.

After 24 hours, sift the broth to make it clear using cheesecloth.

In a blender, add more garlic (aim for 10 cloves), a bunch of cilantro, a bunch of parsley, and walnuts.

Add about 1.5 cups of hot broth to the blender and blend until combined.

Return half of the blended mixture to the soup and mix well.

Serve the soup with lavash bread and sprinkle more greens on top.

Top with a bit of lemon, lime, or apple cider vinegar before serving.
