Instructions

Prepare and Add Ingredients

Start by lightly coating the bottom of your slow cooker with some olive oil. Toss in the celery, carrots, potato, onion, lettuce, beer, shallots, fennel, bell pepper, apple, parsley, peppercorns, lemon, ginger, tamari, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaf. Add enough water to cover everything.

Slow Cook and Strain

Set your slow cooker to Low and let it simmer gently for 8 to 10 hours, or if you're short on time, cook on High for about 4 hours. Once it’s done, use a slotted spoon to fish out all the veggies and solids from the broth.

Strain the Broth

Next, line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large pot. Pour the broth through the cheesecloth to strain out any remaining bits, leaving you with a clear, flavorful broth ready to use.

Storage Tips

Let the broth cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating gently on the stove.
