1. Gather all the ingredients and ensure that they are completely dry and free of moisture to maintain the shelf life of the mix.
2. Using a blender, food processor, or spice grinder, pulse the dehydrated carrots, celery, and onion flakes until they become a coarse powder. Be careful not to over-process, as you want some texture in the mix.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed vegetables with the dehydrated garlic granules, dried parsley, thyme, oregano, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, salt, and nutritional yeast.
4. Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or whisk to evenly distribute the flavors.
5. Transfer the seasoning mix into an airtight container or jar for storage.
6. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
7. To use as a broth, dissolve 1 tablespoon of the mix in 1 cup of hot water. For seasoning, sprinkle as needed in your recipes.
