Our take on the Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian No Chicken Base

A jarred paste base that delivers chicken-style flavor without meat, made by Better Than Bouillon. It spoons out of the jar and dissolves into soups, gravies, rice and slow-cooker dishes, so you control the strength instead of opening a carton. Compared with canned vegetable broth, it is more concentrated and more savory, though it is saltier and less neutral. It suits vegetarians and vegans who miss chicken flavor, and anyone who wants a long-lasting pantry stock base.

Questions and answers

Is Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base vegan?
Yes. It is vegetarian and made without chicken, so it fits vegan cooking. Check the jar label for the current certification.
How much base do I use per cup of water?
A teaspoon per cup of hot water makes a basic broth. Add more for gravies or stronger flavor, and taste as you go.
Does it taste like real chicken stock?
It is close but not identical. It has the savory, poultry-style depth of chicken stock, with a slightly more seasoned taste.
How should I store it after opening?
Keep the jar in the refrigerator after opening. The paste stays usable for months, which is longer than opened carton broth.
