chicken bouillon substitute

Add amazing flavor to your food with this homemade bouillon powder.  You're going to want to add this stuff to EVERYTHING!  Easy to make, super flavorful and much healthier than store bought.  It's naturally vegetarian but tastes just like chicken bouillon powder and can also be used as a chicken broth substitute.

This is amazing! I had no idea you could use nutritional yeast to make bouillon powder. This is such a great alternative for vegans and I bet it tastes great for the rest of us too.

So interesting! I do buy a plant based "chicken" bouillon for cooking for my vegan family members, but I never would have thought to make it myself. I can't wait to try. It looks so simple, too!

great 'chicken' essence bouillon powder recipe! i'm totally making myself a jar right now!

From a culinary perspective - love this. I've been doing a lot of experimenting with meat substitutes (e.g. seitan) and it's really, REALLY great to have plant-based flavour bases.  My faux-chicken has been hit or miss, so a chicken-y bouillon powder is just what I need.

From a food blogging and photography perspective, I LOVE how you shot this.  It's such a pain to make spices/powders/etc look interesting, and you really did a wonderful job here.  Cheers!

I had no idea how easy this was. I had everything, but just had to buy nutritional yeast!

This is so handy! Chicken bouillon is something I use  very very often in my kitchen. I'm definitely gonna make a batch of this. Thanks for this recipe, Vanessa!
P.S. I love your food photography!

This is so amazing, LOVE the flavor!! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

This vegetable bouillon substitute adds incredible flavor to soups, stock, and chowders, plus it is quick and easy to make. You can feel good about this healthy substitute for bouillon because it is free from chemicals, additives, and excessive sodium.

Vegetable Bouillon Substitute Powder

Tbsp salt

Tbsp parsley

celery seeds

Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight jar.&nbsp;

Add 1 Tbsp to 1 cup warm water for 1 cup vegetable broth.

I love this recipe! It is the only bouillon that I have used for the last couple of years now. I also love that it can be totally customized as to the amount of salt that one wishes to add.

love how simple this is to whip up! will be a great staple to have on hand!

This homemade vegetable bouillon is wonderful. Thanks

This is delicious. This time I added a bit of dried shitaki mushrooms that out ground up. Yum, yum, yum!!! So love this. And having it cheap, easy and affordable is such a bonus!!! Thank you Cindy!!!

Going to make this today, just waiting on my new food processor.  I have to leave out salt. Can't have it. I do have question: do you have recipe for beef favor bouillon,  Ty

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I haven't posted before but wanted you to know that I make a big batch of this to keep around at all times. So many great uses. Last Christmas I even made each of my family members their own jar. Great gift idea! Thank you so much for creating what I consider a pantry staple.

Made this a couple of months ago, and after using up the last little bit I was afraid I might not be able to find the recipe again (wheeew, I did)! Four years ago I moved to the Netherlands, and this recipe easily beats any vegetable bouillon I've found here (both in quality and taste). Thanks for posting!
