Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion, unpeeled, halved
1 large shallot, unpeeled, halved
1 head garlic, cloves separated, unpeeled
2 ounces fresh ginger
4 leaves green cabbage
1 medium carrot, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 pieces kombu (1/4 ounce)
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
12 cups water

Directions

Cook onion, shallot, garlic cloves and ginger in a large cast-iron pan over high heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large pot and add cabbage, carrot, scallions, kombu, mushrooms and water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 hour.
Remove from heat, uncover and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the pot is cool to the touch, about 1½ hours. Refrigerate overnight.
Using tongs and a slotted spoon, remove most of the solids from the broth. Strain the remaining broth into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer and serve hot.

To make ahead

Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
