I think we can all agree that sometimes a vegan chicken broth is necessary. Problem is, I haven’t been able to find my usual bouillon paste since I moved. Have you had the Better than Bouillon brand? They have a vegan chicken bouillon paste and it’s great but like I said, I haven’t been able to find it here and it is sodium heavy. I’ve tried making my own broth with vegetable scraps before but I use it so often that I can’t keep up with the demand. This vegan no chicken bouillon powder has been my savior and I’m so happy to share it with you.
Low in sodium, no sugar added, extremely easy to make and it’s so versatile! You could use this no chicken bouillon powder to season virtually anything. I used this to season chicken style seitan once and it tasted unreal. Just a teaspoon or two dissolved in one cup of hot water creates a comforting no chicken broth. It can’t get better than this. Oh wait, yes it can. It’s gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, oil free and VEGAN of course!
- ½ cup nutritional yeast flakes
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp salt
- Add everything to a blender and blend together until powdery.
- Use 1-2 tsp for each cup of hot water. Stir to dissolve.
Can this be used in a recipe that calls for Better than Bouillon paste but not to make a broth? Would there be a conversion?
Hi Mandy, I believe the substitution should work just fine! You may just need to add more salt as Better than Bouillon paste is definitely saltier. For each teaspoon of Better than Bouillon, I would use 1 tablespoon of my no chicken powder.
