Homemade vs. Store Bought Vegetable Broth

Store-bought vegetable broth can contain many additives and an unnecessary amount of sodium. It is estimated that about 90% of Americans consume too much sodium, with pre-made soups/broth making a big contribution to the problem. Making homemade vegetable broth is also significantly cheaper than buying it from the store.
