It's soup! (vegetarian)

[ElsieDee (Laura)]

I’ve been playing around with this recipe:

Navy Bean, Kale, and (Vegan!) Kielbasa Soup

1 lb. dried Navy beans, soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed 1 lb. Tofurkey Vegan Kielbasa sausages, quartered lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise 1 large yellow onion, trimmed and diced 1 cup carrots, peeled and diced 1 cup celery, trimmed and diced 1 heaping tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base 3 bay leaves Several sprigs of fresh thyme or couple pinches of dried 8 cups (or more) water 2 bunches kale, trimmed and sliced into ribbons Small amount of olive oil In large…

I really like it but need a good vegan substitute for the Better Than Bouillon vegetable base, which isn’t vegan.***

Any suggestions?
