Better Than Bouillon Organic Seasoned Vegetable Base 21 oz — Concentrated Paste, 100 Servings

Better Than Bouillon Organic Seasoned Vegetable Base is a concentrated, spoonable organic paste that adds rich vegetable flavor to soups, sauces, marinades, and more.

Made from pureed organic carrots, celery, onions and tomato blended with aromatic seasonings, this 21 oz jar yields roughly 100 servings. The paste dissolves easily in hot water or mixes directly into recipes, letting you dial in flavor intensity without excess sodium or bulk. Packaged as a Costco-only item, this original-version base is a versatile pantry shortcut whether you cook from scratch or need quick depth for weeknight meals.

How do I use this base to make vegetable broth or stock?

To make a simple broth, stir one to two teaspoons of the paste into each cup of hot water until fully dissolved. Adjust quantity based on how strong you want the final broth; it also blends into simmering stocks for longer, layered flavor.

• 1–2 tsp paste per 1 cup hot water for broth
• Stir into simmering soups and stews for added depth
• Use as a deglazing liquid after sautéing vegetables

Can this base replace fresh vegetables in sauces or marinades?

Yes — the concentrated paste provides the savory, aromatic backbone of cooked vegetables without changing texture. Use a spoonful to boost pasta sauces, gravies, pan sauces and marinades when you want robust flavor but don’t have time for long reductions.

• Add to tomato sauces to enrich umami and balance acidity
• Whisk into oil or yogurt for quick marinades and glazes
• Stir into casseroles and slow cooker recipes for consistent flavor
