How to Make Homemade Vegetable Bouillon

How to Make Homemade Vegetable Bouillon

I stopped buying vegetable bouillon cubes years ago and decided just to start making my own.  This recipe isn’t exactly for a cube.  It’s actually a paste, but it works the same way as the cubes.

How to use Vegetable Bouillon

You can add a teaspoon of the bouillon paste to a mug of hot water for an instant soup or add it to your soup pot if you want to skip having to chop up your onions, carrots, and celery.

The bouillon paste is quite versatile and can add a little punch of flavor to almost anything.  Try adding a bit when you’re making spaghetti sauce or sautéing a chicken breast.
