This is an updated version of my vegan-friendly/low-sodium broth mix:

Savory Broth Powder

Ingredients:
1½ cups dried shittake mushrooms (about 1 ounce)
¼ cup diced air-dried sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup dried celery
¼ cup dried celery leaves
2 2/3 cups Large Flake Nutritional Yeast
¼ cup onion powder (not onion salt!)
2 Tbsp granulated garlic
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dried rubbed sage
2 tsp paprika
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp fine sea salt

Directions:
Add the mushrooms through celery leaves into a dry mixing container for a high-speed blender, process on medium (about 5 on a Vitamix) until powdered. Add in remaining ingredients, process on medium until just mixed, stirring as needed.
Store in an airtight container.

Use 1 Tablespoon broth mix for every cup water.

Makes about 2½ cups dry mix.

Hi Sarah,
How do you dry celery ?

Easy! :-) This summer I have a local farmer I buy from, she was growing huge celery plants. She'd cut it for me fresh, at home I would clean, shake off and separate the leaves from the stalks, Leaves I would dry whole, like parsley - they dry fast. Then I'd thinly chop/dice the stalks and dry on mesh screens.
135 for temp - dry till dry :-D

Thanks. I never tried because of the high water content but can't really have stock without celery...
(I will add carrots as well...)
Great suggestion because it should do as a hot drink by itself or just add some ramen and you have a nice soup for lunchtime.
BTW, loved the colour, I must remember to add turmeric (great preservative too...)

Yes! I love how well it works in rice dishes - the color is great :-)
