Vegan Brewer’s Broth

I’ve been making this vegan brewer’s broth for years, it’s one of those simple, go-to recipes that I always come back to. It’s what I make when I need something warm, nourishing, and easy, especially during seasons where my body just needs a little extra support.

It may be simple, but it’s incredibly supportive. Nutritional yeast is rich in B vitamins, plant-based protein, and compounds that help support energy, immune health, and overall balance. It’s one of my favorite ways to add in gentle, functional nutrition without overcomplicating things.

This broth is cozy, grounding, and feels good to drink.

Ingredients:

    •    3 quarts filtered water

    •    2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

    •    2 tsp Baja Gold salt

    •    2 organic carrots (chunks)

    •    2 celery stalks

    •    1 yellow onion (skin on = quercetin)

    •    1 whole garlic bulb (halved)

    •    1–2” fresh ginger

    •    Handful of parsley stems

    •    1 sheet kombu or small strip seaweed (iodine + minerals)

    •    1 cup shiitake or maitake mushrooms (immune + gut)

    •    1 tbsp nutritional yeast (B vitamins)

    •    Optional: 1 tsp miso paste (add at end, not boiled)

Deep Healing Add-ons (optional)

    •    1 tbsp collagen or gelatin (after cooking)

    •    1 tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper

    •    Splash aloe juice (gut lining support)

    •    Few sprigs thyme or rosemary

Directions:

    1.    Add everything except miso, collagen, aloe.

    2.    Bring to light boil → reduce to low simmer 60–90 min.

    3.    Strain well.

    4.    Stir in: Miso (once cooled slightly), Collagen, & Aloe (optional)

This broth stores really well, which makes it perfect to keep on hand for easy nourishment throughout the week. Let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can also freeze it if you want to make a bigger batch, just pour into glass jars (leave a little room at the top) for easy portions. It’ll keep in the freezer for about 2–3 months.

When reheating, just warm it gently on the stove and give it a quick stir. If anything has settled, that’s totally normal.
