    Simple Vegan Broth (1 Ingredient, Low-Sodium)

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Simple 1-ingredient homemade vegan broth excellent for using in soups, stews, chilis, and sauces. It’s full of flavor, low-sodium, fat-free, oil-free, and so easy to make.

    3 jars of homemade vegetable stock.

    Vegetable broth is essential for healthy vegan cooking. It’s the perfect base for soups, great for adding depth of flavor in savory recipes in place of water, and excellent for oil-free pan-frying or sauté. But, if you’re using store-bought brands be sure and read the label because many are high in sodium and contain oil.

    The safest way to ensure you are getting a healthy broth or stock is to make it yourself, but even that can be a chore. The chopping, boiling, canning, blah, blah, blah can be a real hassle. But, not this recipe.

    This delicious vegan broth is so easy to make and requires just one ingredient besides water. You literally mix with water and enjoy. This broth is vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, oil-free, low-sodium, and filled with flavor.

    When you’re in a pinch and don’t feel like running to the store or boiling tons of scraps this homemade vegetable broth is perfect. It’s pretty much all I ever use now.

    What Is The Difference Between Stock And Veggie Broth

    Regular stock is made with bones and broth is a mixture of veggies and meat or bones or both.

    However, when it comes to using just veggies a stock usually contains salt whereas a broth is just the liquid and the veggies. But, ultimately there’s really no difference.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • Shane & Simple Vegetable Bouillon: I always keep a ton of this mixed up and in the pantry for just such an occasion.
    • Water: Use warm to boiling water so all bouillon powder will mix well.

    How To Make Homemade Vegan Broth

    1. Simply add the ingredients to a small saucepan, heat, and whisk or stir until everything is well combined.

    And, that’s it. Literally, that’s it.

    How To Store It

    • Refrigerator: Store in a glass jar for up to 7 days.
    • Freezer: You can store vegan broth for up to 6 months in the freezer using freezer bags, muffin tins, or ice-cube trays.

    How To Use Vegan Broth

    This broth is an excellent light soup and can be used in place of water in almost all savory recipes. Here are a few examples…

    • Instant Pot Vegetable Soup
    • Vegan Mashed Potatoes
    • Easy Vegan Gravy
    • Vegan Lentil Meatloaf

    I always prefer this delicious broth in place of water in savory recipes. It adds an extra layer of flavor you just can’t get from water. It’s also great for adding an extra depth of flavor to your grains like quinoa and brown rice.

    Three jars of homemade vegan broth.

    💭 Tips

    • It’s very common for some of the ingredients to separate. All you need to do is give it a good shake or stir and all good.
    • Be sure and warm to boil water when mixing the ingredients.
