This recipe is from Dr. Jensen. This simple mineral-rich broth makes beautiful use of the most nutrient-dense parts of the vegetables—especially the potato skins, where valuable alkaline minerals are concentrated. Gently simmered (never boiled), this recipe creates a soothing, savory base that supports balance and nourishment while reducing waste. Think of it as a quiet kitchen ritual: slow, intentional, and deeply restorative.
