  1. Add all the ingredients to a small blender or food processor and blitz until a powder-like consistency is reached, approx 20 seconds.Store in a clean jar or sealed container in your pantry.To make broth, combine 1 teaspoon of soup mix with 1 cup of hot water.

Notes:

  • For a low-sodium vegetable bouillon powder, use 1 tablespoon of salt for 50% reduced sodium or use a half tablespoon of salt to reduce the sodium by 75%.Double, triple, quadruple the recipe as desired. Make a big batch at a time to always have some on hand ready to go for soups, casseroles, veggies, and more.Store your mix in a CLEAN and DRY jar or container. Store in a cool dark place, like your pantry, or if you live in a humid climate, you may store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.Use your soup mix powder to replace veggie broth in any recipe. Just combine 1 teaspoon of your mixture with 1 cup of hot water for every cup called for.If you skip blending into a powder and mix the seasoning in a bowl, you’ll need about a tablespoon of soup mix for every cup of hot water. When blended, the spices are more condensed, and 1 teaspoon to every cup of water works well. Use more or less to your taste. Also, make sure to omit the bay leaf if you choose to skip the blending.For a “chicken” broth version, add 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning. Or ½ teaspoon of sage, and ¼ teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary.
