Recipe Vegetable Bouillon

Vegetable Bouillon

Makes one full quart.
-4 carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into one inch pieces
-3 stalks of celery, trimmed, washed and cut into one inch pieces
-1 medium onion
-4 green onions roughly chopped
-1 large handful of parsley washed and lightly chopped
-1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes
-1 1/2 cups mushrooms
-3 large garlic cloves
-8 ounces (Measure by weight) of kosher salt
-1 tablespoon of pepper

Layer all ingredients in a large food processor. I split into two batches. Blend until you have a uniform paste.

I use this in all my soups. Slather it on my roasted or crockpot chicken, when making rice, etc. If I make a vegetable soup it is the only seasoning I use. Do not add any additional salt.
It seems like a lot of salt but don’t try to reduce the amount. It is the preservative. This will last in your fridge for months.
Hope you try it. This is one of my favorite kitchen staples to have.

Wondering if this can be dehydrated???

Also, wondering how much you typically use in a recipe? Thanks.

Actually, I have dehydrated it. It worked good. I blended it post dehydration and use it as a seasoning in backpacking food. I’d like to do a batch without the salt to up my vegetable intake on the trail.

What I did was experiment with a cup of hot water to get an idea. Maybe a teaspoon in a cup? When I use it I never add salt to the recipe. I add this and if I feel I want more salt I add more. I probably add a tablespoon in a batch of rice. A couple heaping tablespoons in my vegetable soup. But my tomatoes are frozen without salt. If you used canned tomatoes you might need less. It’s really just a matter of experimenting. Hope that helps.
