I'm so excited to share this! I use Vegetable bullion type powder in a lot of my recipes. The best brand I could find was Rapunzel the ingredients were all pretty good and they passed my radar but I still was sort of worried that it may contain hidden MSG (most all bullion's do even when they say they don't) I haven't noticed the same symptoms I get when I go out and unknowingly eat MSG. But making it this way is just as tasty, much, much cheaper, and I know for certain it does NOT contain anything I don't want it too especially MSG! I can't take credit for the recipe so I will be sure to give credit where it is due! Traci gives this recipe away so I'm sure she won't mind if I post it! I have not tried her other recipes yet but I'm excited too. Be sure to check below for her book! I put in all optional ingredients it smelled so good I had to taste just the plain powder. It tastes just like chicken broth to me! And it's even better in a recipe! ;) Also I'm sure I have mentioned this before but for those of you who may not know Nutritional Yeast is NOT bread yeast! It is yellow flakes you can find it at pretty much any health food store usually in the bulk foods section.
Vegetable Broth Powder
2 cups Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup sea salt
2 Tablespoons onion powder
1 Tablespoon turmeric
1 Tablespoon turmeric
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon powdered thyme
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
Place all, except parsley, in a blender in the listed order. Blend until powered together. Add parsley and pulse to chop. Store in an airtight container indefinitely in the cupboard. To make veggie broth, add 1 tbsp of powder to every quart of water.

YAY! Thank You! I haven't taken the time to look for a recipe like this, but it's been on my mind this week.
ReplyDeleteJust this weekend I think I may have been told about this book....I was looking at my chicken broth bottle, thinking...MSG alert, MSG alert, and looking in my providential living cook books all with host of from scratch recipes, all with no broth recipes, and how many recipes call for broth! I am so excited to try this! Also I am excited to start trying some of these. We did veggie burgers this week and the kids didn't like as much as burgers but still ate quite happily! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood job Bonnie and family!!! :) You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, question, what is nutritional yeast, what does it do, and is it to be found at any health food store? Can I try it with a normal yeast (with less health benefits, but as a starting out point)??
ReplyDeleteEmily: Nutritional Yeast is a cultured yeast usually grown on sugar cane or beet molasses. Very high in vitamins and minerals and a source of B-12. It is inactive and is very very different from regular bread yeast! You can not substitute it! It would be terrible! It just simply wouldn't work and it would be gross.
ReplyDeleteYou would be better off trying the recipe adding more seasonings and spices and no yeast of any kind. But yes you should be able to find it at any health food store.
I cannot stomach nutritional yeast in the least, I can taste the stuff from a mile away. So can I leave it out? What could I substitute it with? Could I make the mixture then add some arrowroot powder to spread it out or thicken it? Any ideas would be great.
ReplyDeleteAlso we made some Macaroni and Un-cheese for dinner tonight and it was to die for. It was made with Butternut Squash- you'll have to check it out on my blog.
Yeah no more running out I can make my own!
ReplyDeleteI have been making my own broth powder for awhile now too, especially after reading in a couple of different places that yeast extract is another hidden term for MSG. The only "issue" with making my own is that it's not quite as flavorful as the broth powder you can buy, so more is needed to obtain the same flavor (1+ tbs instead of 1 tsp per cup of water). I also usually need to add more salt to the recipe. I'm excited to try your recipe sometime too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my questions Tammy, one more quick one for you, when you've taken St. John's Wort, have you find it fine with nursing, and did you use how many with after birth pains/how frequent? (If you remember) :) Thank you cutie! I am trying a couple of your recipes this week and excited to try them out, thanks for posting so many.
ReplyDeleteEmily: I only took it for a few days after giving birth to help with afterbirth pains. I personally felt that it helped and didn't notice any problems with it associated with nursing. It seems like I just took 2 capsules 2 or 3 times a day or as needed. I would usually take it 5 to 10 minutes before nursing since the nursing a lot of times will bring on those afterbirth pains.
ReplyDeleteSo what recipes did you try? And how did your family enjoy them?
We use this broth a lot. I made it without the nutritional yeast and it is still delicious.
