Yield: 1 cup powder mix

You can ditch the store-bought, preservative/additive laden bouillon cubes/powders by making your own at home.  This homemade version is loaded with herbs and spices, creating a rich, savory base for soups and stews.  It’s vegan and gluten-free as well.

Ingredients
1 cup nutritional yeast
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
2 Tablespoons onion powder
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning*
1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon celery salt (you can sub celery seeds)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Add all ingredients to a jar and shake or to a bowl and whisk thoroughly until blended well.
To use the mix, dissolve about 1-2 Tablespoons in boiling water to create a flavorful broth. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference and the recipe requirements.

Notes:
* Poultry seasoning is completely vegan and can be found at many grocery stores or online.
**Store the bouillon mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. It can last up to 6 months if stored properly.

Blender Method– Some folks like to make it more powdery and prefer to add all the ingredients to their blender or food processor. Because the final product is broken down more, you’ll want to adjust the measurements by using 1 teaspoon mix + 1 cup of hot water.
