When making Bieler’s broth, it’s important to boil the zucchini, green beans, celery, fresh tarragon just until they peak in a vibrant, bright green color.
This quick blanch tenderizes your veggies so that they lose their raw edge. It also turns off enzymes that break down the green pigment in veggies, helping them to retain color, flavor, and natural sweetness.
If you can, use homemade chicken stock for that ultra-rich flavor and a lift of extra gelatin.
