Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1/4 cup dried basil
• 1/4 cup dried oregano
• 1/4 cup dried rosemary
• 1-2 tablespoons pepper (adjust to taste)

How to Make Homemade Chicken Bouillon Mix

1. Blend the Ingredients

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend until the mixture reaches a fine, powdery consistency. This will ensure that your bouillon is easy to dissolve when you add it to water.

2. Store Your Bouillon Powder

Transfer the blended powder to an airtight container, such as a glass jar or resealable bag. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it will stay fresh for up to 6 months. The beauty of this homemade mix is that you don’t need any preservatives to keep it lasting.

How to Use Your Homemade Chicken Bouillon Mix

For each cup of broth needed in a recipe, simply stir 1 tablespoon of bouillon powder into 8 oz of hot water. Mix well until the bouillon dissolves. This will create a rich and flavorful chicken broth that’s perfect for soups, sauces, casseroles, or risottos.
