If you’ve ever bought vegetable bouillon cubes and actually read the ingredients… it’s not great. Most are packed with sugar, starches, and fillers that definitely aren’t keto-friendly.
One teaspoon + hot water = the easiest homemade vegetable broth ever.

Tips & Notes
- The salt acts as a natural preservative. Don’t reduce it too much.
- You can strain it after blending if you want a smoother paste, but it’s not necessary.
- If your kitchen is warm, store it in the freezer for best shelf life.
- I love using 4 oz glass baby food jars for storing small batches of bouillon paste, homemade seasonings, sauces, and homemade dressings — they’re affordable, reusable, and the perfect size for freezer storage.
