Vegetable Broth Powder
Vegetable Broth Powder combines a blend of dried herbs and spices including celery salt, parsley flakes, onion and garlic powders, savory, marjoram, thyme, sage, black pepper, turmeric, and optional nutritional yeast. This mix creates a concentrated powder that can be dissolved in water to make flavorful broth, providing a handy alternative to store-bought bouillon cubes or stock. It offers an easy way to season soups, stews, sauces, or any recipe calling for vegetable broth.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons celery salt
- 4 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 4 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons ground savory (use summer savory -- not the winter variety. If necessary, you can substitute thyme, marjoram, or sage)
- 2 teaspoons marjoram dried
- 2 teaspoons thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon sage ground
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Combine all in a small bowl. Store in glass or plastic container with a tight fitting lid. Stir or shake occasionally before use to redistribute ingredients.
- Use 1 teaspoon mix plus one cup of water to make 1 cup of broth in a recipe. You may substitute this for chicken broth/bouillon in recipes as well. 1 teaspoon is the equivalent of 1 bouillon cube.
Notes
- Store a small measuring teaspoon inside the container to avoid repeated washing of spoons during frequent use.
- Prepare the powder in multiple batches to reduce overall preparation time.
- For homemade celery salt, consider making it yourself to control flavor and freshness.
- If summer savory is unavailable, substitute with thyme, marjoram, or sage, though flavors may vary.
- Choose quality spices; brands like Frontier are recommended for consistent results.
- To adapt for autoimmune protocol (AIP) diets, use celery leaves instead of seeds for celery salt and omit black pepper.
