Broths are an important ingredient in flavourful cooking. I personally prefer using bouillon powder for broths instead of buying cartons or batch making to freeze. It’s simpler to use on an as-needed basis – just add water!
As someone who was not raised vegan, giving up the classic chicken noodle soup was a tough one. But this bouillon powder gives all the comforting flavour of the childhood classic, with no chicken involved. Win-win.
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp sea salt

*Simply Organic is my preferred spice brand.
Combine all ingredients in a blender cup and blitz into a fine powder. Store in a glass mason jar.
To use: add 1/2 tablespoon bouillon powder per 1 cup of water. Increase as needed if you prefer a stronger broth.
Makes at 12-20 cups.
