In a large skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and lightly saute for a couple of minutes. Then add the potatoes and cook for several minutes to begin softening (4-5 minutes). They can also contain hydrogenated palm oil, ‘flavor enhancers’ (where the msg comes in), sugar, caramel, etc. The main thing? Keep in mind bouillon is quite salty and very concentrated. I mention in the recipe I've been using 1 teaspoon per 1 cup of water/liquid to start. You can adjust from there based on what you're making and personal preference. And as far as variations go, this first batch was made primarily with ingredients from my refrigerator, but I'm really excited to try other versions using different herbs and ratios of the base ingredients.

It’s made up of largely pantry basics, and low-budget vegetables and a single batch can potentially last months!

Remember though, you can achieve the same benefits with things like homemade vegetable broth or electrolyte drinks, which have fewer questionable ingredients and are overall healthier.

Add the remainder of the ingredients (except the parsley), stir well, and then allow to simmer, covered, to cook until softened – this will take around 20 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. Transfer to the freezer to freeze for several hours until hardened (due to the salt content, they won’t freeze completely solid). Then use a sharp knife to cut into cubes and transfer to a freezer-safe container to store. Bouillon is not connected by train.

Where to stay in Bouillon There are several hiking routes in and around Bouillon. One of the simplest hiking routes in Bouillon is the 3.5km Promenade de la Sente aux Geais. This stroller-friendly, 3.5km, way-marked hike begins in front of the Tourism office (follow no:9) and goes till Pont de France and then takes a different route from the Historic Tour mentioned above. This route goes to the wooded areas, follows the historic tram route and lends some amazing views of the town & the Semois river.

As far as autophagy goes, there are no studies that can give a definitive answer. Some say it is ok, others advise against it during the fast. If autophagy is your goal, you may want to avoid drinking bouillon while fasting. You can instead use it during your eating window or even break the fast with it.Karen "tried a variation with local ingredients: carrot, long onion (like a leek), daikon radish, japanese wild parsley, salt, and 7 pepper blend. added a bit of soy sauce for more salt and flavor, too. then i used it to make red lentil soup.
