📚✅ My books are out! Get yours here 👉 https://sidneyexplains.netlify.app 🧂 BASE BOUILLON POWDER (makes 1 jar) ½ cup nutritional yeast 2 tbsp sea salt 1 tbsp onion powder (or 2 tbsp dried minced onion) 1 tbsp garlic powder ¼ cup dried mushrooms (any kind), broken up 2 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried thyme ½ tsp celery seed A little black pepper A pinch of turmeric Blend everything into a fine powder (grind the mushrooms extra well) and store in a sealed jar. Add one of these to the base batch for each flavor: 🐔 CHICKEN-STYLE 1 tsp dried sage ½ tsp dried rosemary ½ tsp extra dried thyme 🥩 BEEFY & DARK 1 tsp soy sauce powder OR a small pinch of cocoa powder 🍅 TOMATO 1 tbsp tomato powder 🌊 SEAFOOD / ASIAN-STYLE 1 sheet of nori, torn OR a 2-inch piece of dried kombu, ground in ⚠️ ALLERGIC TO MUSHROOMS? Skip the ¼ cup of dried mushrooms and use one of these instead: 2 tbsp tomato powder (or 3 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, fully dried and ground) OR a 3-inch piece of dried kombu seaweed, ground fine (about 1 tbsp) Note: nutritional yeast is also a fungus. Most people with a mushroom allergy tolerate it fine, but check with your doctor if you’re unsure. ☕ HOW TO USE Drinking broth: 1–2 tsp per cup of hot water Soups, rice, beans, gravy: 1 tbsp per pot 💡 TIPS Toast the dried mushrooms in a dry pan for 1 minute before grinding for a deeper flavor. For a paste, blend the powder with a little oil or a spoonful of miso and keep it in the fridge. Everything must be completely dry. Store in a sealed jar away from heat and light. It keeps about 6 months. ⚠️ Visual source note: This video may include a mix of original footage, custom visuals, stock media, public-domain material, and occasional brief third-party visual clips used only to support original commentary, instruction, and educational storytelling.
