Ingredients:
- 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes (60g)
- 2 tbsp fine sea salt (36g)
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar or organic cane sugar (15g)
- 2 tbsp garlic powder (20g)
- 2 tbsp onion powder (20g)
- 1 tsp ground turmeric (3g)
- 1 tsp ground black pepper (2g)
- 1 tbsp dried parsley (2g)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (1g)
- 1 tsp dried sage (1g)
- 0.5 tsp dried marjoram or rosemary (0.5g)
Instructions:
- Prep the base. Place the 1 cup of nutritional yeast in a blender or clean spice grinder. Pulse for 10 seconds until it becomes a fine powder. Note: This ensures it doesn't float on top of your soups.
- Combine the aromatics. In a medium glass bowl, whisk together the pulverized yeast, 2 tbsp garlic powder, and 2 tbsp onion powder.
- Integrate the seasoning. Add the 2 tbsp sea salt and 1 tbsp coconut sugar to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until no streaks of white remain.
- Add the color. Stir in the 1 tsp ground turmeric. Watch for the mixture to turn a uniform golden yellow. Note: Turmeric stains, so use a metal or glass bowl.
- Fold in the herbs. Gently mix in the 1 tbsp dried parsley, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp sage, and 0.5 tsp marjoram. Ensure the green flecks are evenly distributed.
- Season with heat. Add the 1 tsp black pepper and give it one final thorough stir.
- Sift for perfection. If you want a truly professional bouillon powder, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Note: This removes any large herb stems that didn't grind down.
- Transfer and seal. Use a funnel to pour the blend into a clean, dry 8 ounce glass jar.
- Label your creation. Mark the date on the jar. Tightly secure the lid to keep moisture out.
- Taste test. Mix 1 teaspoon into 1 cup of hot water. Sip to check the balance of salt and herbs.
