I make a lot of seasoning mixes, and this was the best recipe that I found for vegan beef bouillon. I made up half a batch and then made myself a cup to taste test it. I felt that it was too peppery, so made another batch with less pepper. Still thought it was too peppery, so I think I will leave it out completely. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce to one cup of broth, and it was much more beefy tasting. Definitely a good basic recipe, though!

Nice recipe! I whizzed the ingredients in my food processor and that worked fine. I tried some as a cup of soup and needed to add over a tbsp to taste it. But when I used it as a flavoring in a pasta salad - it was wonderful! I plan on making a larger quantity and keeping it in the pantry for cold pasta salad seasonings. Made for M3C.

I always use beef bouillon when I make roast beef, but I ran out today with a 5lb roast ready to go into the oven. I made this recipe (minus the mushrooms, not having any) and doubled it. I added 2 tsp of the amount that was created (probably around 2 TBSP total) and added it to about 6 cups of water I was using with the roast. That broth then cooked down to less than 2 cups, and made a delicious gravy. So good that I intend to make my own bouillon seasoning from now on! No MSG and just as tasty! Thank you! (I used whole bay leaves in the broth while the roast was roasting, instead of using crushed bay leaf in the seasoning mix.)
