If you've been searching for a vegan chicken broth recipe that gives you the same incredible flavor as traditional chicken broth without any animal products, this is the one to bookmark. Instead of simmering vegetables for a long time, this DIY version uses a simple blend of pantry spices, nutritional yeast flakes, and a little poultry seasoning to create a homemade vegan chicken bouillon powder. Just add hot water, and you'll have a delicious vegan chicken broth in minutes. It's the perfect substitute for cooking rice, tofu marinades, soups, and even soy curls.
Ingredients
The beauty of this vegan chicken broth powder is that it uses simple herbs and spices you probably already have in your spice cabinet or can find easily in most grocery stores. Nutritional yeast is the most important ingredient, bringing that cheese-like flavor and vitamin C boost that makes the broth taste like the real deal.
You'll need:
- 25g nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning (see below)
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Poultry Seasoning Blend
- 2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground marjoram
- ¾ teaspoon ground rosemary
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a spice grinder or food processor and blend until you have a fine powder.
Store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place (like your pantry spaces).
To make broth: mix 1 ½ teaspoons of powder with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until dissolved.
This gives you an instant, delicious vegan chicken broth that you can use just like a chicken base or chicken stock.
Substitutions and Variations
Celery salt or celery seed: for a deeper vegetable broth taste.
Olive oil: add a tiny splash when preparing broth for extra richness.
Pinch of cayenne: for a subtle heat.
King oyster mushrooms: blend in for more umami depth.
Gluten free: ensure your nutritional yeast and seasonings are certified gluten-free.
How to use vegan chicken stock
This homemade chicken bouillon powder is incredibly versatile. Try it in:
