How to Make Homemade Veggie Bouillon

  1. Roughly chop all vegetables.
  2. Place 1 large onion (1 cup chopped), 2 carrots (1 cup chopped), 2 celery stalks (1 cup chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (1 tbsp minced) in your food processor. Pulse 10-15 times until finely chopped but not pureed.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped mushrooms, 1 cup chopped zucchini, 1 red bell pepper (1 cup chopped), and 1 cup chopped tomatoes. Pulse another 10-15 times, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste, omit for a salt-free version). Pulse until well combined.
  5. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Pulse a few more times until herbs are incorporated. You may need to add ingredients in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  6. You should have a moist, loose paste. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a jar. Reserve 1/4 of the mixture in the refrigerator for immediate use and freeze the remaining 3/4 in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers for later use.
  8. To use, add 1 teaspoon of frozen or refrigerated bouillon per 1 cup of liquid in your recipes. Adjust to taste.
