Soup is a family favorite at our house and although I make bone broth from scratch I often need a little something more to give the broth the flavor and body that elevates it from merely filling to delicious.
In the past I have used canned stock and powdered bouillon but since I have learned more about factory farms I have studiously avoided buying any industrial meat product. I found organic bullion paste at the co-op, but it also contained ingredients that I choose to avoid.
Then I came across a stock powder recipe at vedgedout.com that was the perfect solution. I tweak the recipe a bit and hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Start with these delicious and beautiful ingredients;
1 ounce dried shitake mushrooms (about 15 whole)
1 ounce dehydrated tomato slices (about 10 large slices)
3 T onion powder
1 T garlic powder
2 T sea salt
1 T Turbinado sugar
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 t thyme (dried)
1 t oregano (dried)
1/2 t turmeric
1 t mustard powder
1/2 t celery seeds
1 C nutritional yeast
This is the time when the Vita mix dry container comes in very handy. Put the mushrooms and tomatoes in the blender and blend until powdered. Then add the rest of the ingredients and continue to blend until all the ingredients are incorporated. Store covered in a glass jar.
The finished stock powder can be used in place of bullion in any recipe. It is great added to the water when cooking rice.
The ingredients in this stock powder contribute to its nutritional value. The nutritional yeast is especially high in B vitamins and adds a subtle cheesy taste. Below is the Bragg's nutritional label. After buying this container of Braggs I found nutritional yeast in the bulk section of my co-op at a better price.
I hope you will give this a try and let me know what you think.

Dried shitake mushrooms are available at Mountain Rose Herbs and you would be surprised how many mushrooms you get when you purchase a pound. Thyme and oregano are both perennials in Zone 4 and can be grown in your garden and preserved by drying.
I hope you will give this a try and let me know what you think.
