Bouillon Powder

Bouillon Powder

A concentrated flavor base for soups, sauces, and rice. No MSG, no mystery ingredients, just real food.

Time: 15 minutes active + 3-4 hours drying  ·  Yield: About 120 g (½ cup)

Ingredients

  • 2 large carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 30 g (1 cup) fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Pulse all vegetables and parsley in a food processor until very finely minced — almost a paste.
  2. Add the nutritional yeast, salt, turmeric, pepper, and olive oil. Process until well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture thinly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dehydrate in the oven at 93°C (200°F) for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour, until completely dry and crumbly. (A food dehydrator at 52°C (125°F) for 6-8 hours also works.)
  4. Once dry, break into pieces and pulse in a spice grinder or food processor until a fine powder.
  5. **To use:** 1 teaspoon dissolved in 1 cup of hot water = 1 cup of broth.
  6. *Storage:** Airtight jar at room temperature for 6 months. Refrigerate for up to 1 year.
