Chicken Base (Bouillon)

I reference this in many of my recipes, so I figured I'd share it. I try to buy foods that are free of MSG (monosodium glutamate). Try... I don't always succeed, such as beef bouillon. Trying to make your own beef bouillon powder is a task-and-a-half. To be honest, I've never tried, nor want to. So my once a month usage of beef bouillon in my taco seasoning is a splurge. But I haven't used store-bought chicken bouillon in years.

1 1/3 cup yeast flakes
* I use Bragg, because I can find it in most grocery stores, but any brand will do.
3 TBS onion powder
2 1/2 TBS sea salt
1 TBS rice protein powder (plain)
*I couldn't find rice protein powder, so I use hemp protein powder.
1 TBS sugar
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage leaves
1 tsp paprika
* I would not suggest using smoked paprika. It would change the flavor way too much.
1/2 tsp turmeric

Blend all ingredients in food processor until powdery. Store in a sealed container.

1 tsp base +  1 cup water = 1 cup chicken broth
