Notes

 
**Some Tips. You can easily cut this recipe in half, or double it accommodate your needs.  Buy the baby carrots that are pre-peeled to save time on peeling!  I swear by the Herb ox brand Bouillon cubes, although you can use whichever brand you prefer.  You may need to taste the broth as it's near done and add more cubes and/or pepper to taste. ENJOY!
