Delicious No Chicken Broth Recipe

In trying to make matzo ball soup yesterday, I realized that my previous no chicken broth standby is on the "has corn" list, thus making it inedible for my husband. So, I attempted to make a "no chicken" broth and came upon this delicious recipe, which I think is pretty close to the Imagine brand that I was buying.

The trick was finding seasoned salt that had no weird corn based ingredients, and Penzy's won. Their Seasoned Salt is corn free.

I found this recipe on the http://www.myvegancookbook.com blog. Modified to removed the vegan butter.

• 1 Cup Onions, Chopped
• 1 Cup Celery, Chopped
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 5 Cups Water
• 2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Seasoned Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (Kikkoman is corn free, no alcohol.)

In a large stock pot, simmer the onions and celery with the olive oil on medium-low heat until vegetables are soft. Add the onion and garlic powder, seasoned salt, poultry seasoning and soy sauce and saute for another minute.

Add water and let simmer on medium-low for 30 minutes. Strain broth and discard vegetable pulp.

Makes 4 cups.

It also makes a great sick day veggie soup/broth if you don't strain the veggie pulp.
