I use Vegetable bouillon type powder in a lot of my recipes. It's really hard to find a brand that doesn't contain MSG (most all bouillon's do even when they say they don't some hide it under another name).
I swore by Seitenbacher’s Vegetable Broth and Seasoning powder for years. It started to get very expensive (now it’s crazy high!). I wondered if I could make my own. I did some research and started tinkering. Low and behold, it’s not that complicated, and this broth works so well in so many dishes. I love it for soups, of course, but also for things like rehydrating soy curls. I’ll never go back, that’s for sure. It’s also very inexpensive, especially if you get most of your spices and your nutritional yeast in the bulk section of a grocery store. This recipe probably costs about $1.00 total with bulk-section spices and yeast. Yay!
This easy Vegetable Bouillon Powder is a great way to add incredible flavor to those soups, casseroles, and veggie dishes. It is super quick and simple to make in only minutes and also makes a terrific vegetable broth substitute.
10 minutes prep time, easy to make, freezer-friendly, high in protein, cheaper and healthier than store-bought, and they taste and have a texture just like smoked turkey!

"This recipe is inspired by Melissa Clark’s Crispy chili glazed tofu in her book Dinner in One. I find tofu is often an overlooked but affordable source of protein that is also versatile and easy to store. Crunchy sugar snap peas (can be substituted by other crunchy veggie), crispy tofu and soba noodles create a ballad of textures and flavors. This dish can be served warm, lukewarm or even cold, which makes it a perfect lunch-to-go or picnic food. If you can’t find rice vinegar, use white balsamic vinegar instead."

This feel-good dinner makes the most of your time. Because you’re busy. You don’t have all day. I hear you. That’s where multitasking comes in: While hunks of Halloumi cheese and pita shards toast in the oven, you’ll slice up juicy citrus (snag blood oranges if you can for their vibrant hue), kicky shallot, kickier jalapeño, and fresh dill (cilantro and parsley also work if that’s what you have). Then you’ll whip up a lime-and-honey dressing to wake everyone up. Inspired by fattoush, a Middle Eastern bread salad, the toasted pita happily soaks up the vinaigrette. Scoops of buttery avocado top it all off, yielding a one-dish supper or brunch I’d eat every week if I could. And maybe I will.

This simple pureed vegetable soup is a comfort I seek in the harried moments when I crave simplicity. It is one of the meals I ate repeatedly in Ireland. It is ever on the menu at both small, quick cafes or pubs, and nicer restaurants, always served with a slice or two of brown bread. It fills and warms you up, and can contain whatever sorts of vegetables you have on hand. This recipe makes a large batch, enough for 5-7 servings. meals.
