Ingredients
  

Dry Mix Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Kosher Salt or fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Ground Celery Seed
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric for color and flavor
  • 1/2 tsp White Pepper or black pepper
  • 1 tsp Granulated Sugar balances flavors

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Airtight container
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all dry mix ingredients (kosher salt, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, ground celery seed, ground turmeric, white pepper, and granulated sugar) into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture forms a fine, uniform powder. This ensures all the flavors are well combined and the parsley and celery seed are finely ground.
Storage & Usage
  1. Transfer the homemade chicken bouillon dry mix to a clean, airtight container. Store it in a cool, dark pantry away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  2. To make 1 cup of chicken broth, dissolve 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dry mix in 1 cup of hot water. Adjust the amount to your taste preference. Use as a seasoning in recipes calling for chicken bouillon.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of dried mushroom powder (like shiitake) to the mix. Ensure all ingredients are completely dry before blending to prevent clumping and extend shelf life. This mix can last for 6-12 months when stored properly.
