--- title: Create Your Own Broth Mix Recipes description: Save time making soup, learn how to make your own broth mixes using dried herbs. --- [Mountain Rose Herbs Blog ](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com) # [Create Your Own Broth Mix Recipes](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/diy-broth-mix-recipes) Written by [The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/author/friends) | October 3, 2016 Soups are one of my all-time favorite things to cook. There is a meditation for me in the chopping, measuring and stirring that goes into making a wonderful pot of soup. Like many of us, I don’t always have the time to make soup from scratch. I’ve also chatted with many folks who are intimidated by making soups and broths—they have a hard time getting the seasoning right so the soup doesn’t taste like bland dishwater. I stumbled upon the idea of making broth mixes when I passed by some packaged mixes at the store. Why couldn’t I create my own and have them on hand to use in soups, for a basic broth, or even to mix in to pasta or ramen noodles? With a bit of experimenting, I came up with two very different yet tasty broth mixes—both nutritious and great as all-purpose seasoning mixes too! These two recipes are made entirely from dried herbs and spices. You can create your own by swapping and experimenting or try them as is. They also make great gifts and I keep a jar of each in my desk drawer at work for a quick and nutritious bit of soup on the fly! ## **Vegetable Broth Mix** *This makes approximately 1 cup of dried mix.

Add 1 teaspoon of broth mix to 1 cup of hot water. Simmer as long as you’d like (I sometimes add a teaspoon to my tea mug and pour 1 cup boiling water over, allow to steep for a few minutes, and drink like tea!)
