When do you add carrots?
Hi Robin,
Ooops, we left that out. Thanks for the heads-up. We just made the correction. Add the carrots at step 4 with the salt and parsley.
Be blessed on your fast.
Is the vegetable broth used in your recipes store bought?
Hi Marie.
I use prepared vegetable broth that I purchase in one-quart portions in boxes. I prefer the Pacific brand because it has no sweeteners. Be sure to read the list of ingredients on the food label to make sure they are comppliment with the fasting guidelines.
Be blessed on your fast.
