Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh baby-cut carrots or green beans
  • 2 packets Swanson® Flavor Boost™ Concentrated Vegetable Broth

Directions

  1. Place the broccoli into a 3-quart saucepan and add water to cover. Cook over medium-high heat until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli well in a colander. Return the broccoli to the saucepan.
  2. Add the concentrated broth to the saucepan and toss to coat.

Footnotes

  • You can substitute 4 cups of fresh broccoli florets for 1 pound green beans or fresh baby-cut carrots.
  • For something different, try 3 cups frozen whole kernel corn or peas or 1 package (16 ounces) your favorite frozen vegetable blend in this recipe.
  • To save time, use your microwave. Most stores now carry fresh and frozen vegetables in 12-ounce microwave-ready "steamer" bags. Just prepare according to package directions, drain and toss in a medium bowl with2 pouches Swanson® Concentrated Vegetable Broth!
  • For an Italian twist, stir in 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
  • To add some crunch, stir in 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds.
  • For a honey-balsamic glaze, stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Cook and stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until the glaze is thickened.
