Easy Delicious Vegetable Broth Powder

This Vegetable Broth Powder is going to literally knock your socks off (or if your socks don't come off, at least you'll be truly happy). It's incredibly delicious and wholesome with none of the additives in store-bought broth cubes and packets.

Plus it makes a great All-Purpose Homemade Seasoning that tastes great everything.

It's true that this spice blend is literally one of our favorite recipes of all time. It's great as a substitute for any recipe that calls for broth but also doubles as a fantastic all-purpose seasoning.

Growing up, my mom those terrible little fake orange-colored vegetable broth powder cubes with a plethora of ingredients (including MSG and hydrolyzed stuff) that would make any health-minded person's hair stand on end.

When we moved to Michigan I started purchasing organic vegetable broth cubes and powders by the case in order to save a bit of money while still having the convenience of a mix.

One day, however, it occurred to me that I could probably make my own vegetable broth powder.

And I was right. And here it is for you to enjoy as well.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

• Great Taste: This blend is incredibly delicious.
• Simple: You only need 9 ingredients and a few minutes to make it.
• Clean Ingredients: There’s nothing but spices included. Just clean ingredients. No MSG or hydrolyzed anything. Not even any sugars or fillers.
• Allergy and Special Diet Friendly: It's naturally gluten-free, vegan, keto, grain-free, and dairy-free, and is easily made AIP as well.
• Frugal: So much cheaper than buying store-bought cubes, powders, or cartons of broth.
• Versatile: Don't have a spice on the list or don't like one of them? You can easily swap them out for something else. I'm happy to help if you need a suggestion.
• Many Uses: This recipe is not only great for using in recipes that call for broth, but it's a great seasoning to have on your table for putting on veggies, main dishes, and salads, but it makes a great popcorn seasoning recipe too! I haven't tried this yet, but it would be great on seasoned nuts!
• Saves on Storage Space: Got a small pantry? This spice blend takes up a ton less room than boxes or cans of broth.
• Environmentally friendly: No need to buy cartons or cans. And if you buy your spices in bulk, you'll save on that packaging too!

What You Will Need

• Celery Salt (see Homemade Celery Salt)
• Dried Parsley Flakes
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Ground Savory (use summer savory: not the winter variety.  If necessary, you can substitute thyme, marjoram, or sage)
• Dried Marjoram
• Dried Thyme
• Pepper
• Turmeric
• Ground Sage

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Multiple Batches: Make this in 2-3 batches at a time to save on preparation time.
• Savory Substitutes: If you can't find savory, you can try subbing thyme or thyme plus a little rosemary.  I haven't tried them but that should make a decent substitution.
• AIP: For AIP, you can make Homemade Celery Salt using celery leaves instead of seeds and omit the pepper.
• Spice Brand: Most of my spices are Frontier brand.
• Measuring Spoon Tip: Store a small measuring spoon in your container so that you are not continually washing a rewashing the same spoon as I use this mixture so often. (See my post on saving time with tools for more ideas for your spoons!)
