I have a lot of vegetarian friends as of late... I don't know how this is humanly possible considering the fact that I believe foie gras is a reasonable substitute for butter. But nonetheless it is the case.
I have a lot of great recipes that could be veggie friendly if only they didn't call for chicken broth. I need a savory substitute for chicken broth...none of this veggie/mushroom broth crap that has zero fat and even less flavor. the key here is tasty not just veggie.
anyone got a vegetarian broth recipe approaching that naturally salty, fatty and golden flavor from our friend the chicken?

VP: Yes, this is a common problem with preparing vegetarian recipes. We really like Lidia Bastianich's recipe from her Lidia's Family Table.

Lidia roasts the veg first, almost charring them. This gives the stock a nutty, meaty flavor.
