Organic Vegetarian 'No Chicken' Spoonable Base — 8 oz Jar

Product description

Made from seasoned vegetables and no chicken, this organic spoonable base is designed to reproduce familiar chicken-style savoriness while remaining suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. The formula is certified vegan and concentrates savory vegetable extracts and seasonings into a dense, spreadable paste.

Each 8 oz jar yields approximately 9.5 quarts of broth when diluted, so a small amount stretches far. The spoonable texture lets you add a little at a time to control intensity; dissolve it into hot water to make stock, fold into gravies and sauces, blend into marinades, or stir into cooked grains, vegetables and slow-cooker recipes for an instant savory boost.

Pros

  • Convincing chicken-style savory flavor
  • Certified vegan and vegetable-based
  • Concentrated — one 8 oz jar makes ~9.5 quarts

Cons

  • High sodium level
  • Can overwhelm delicate dishes if used heavy-handedly
  • No low-sodium formulation available

VerdictThis spoonable organic vegetarian base delivers a convincing chicken-style savory note for vegan and vegetarian cooking. The jarred concentrate is versatile — dissolve to taste for broths, gravies, rice, or slow-simmered dishes — and stretches a long way: a single 8 oz jar makes roughly 9.5 quarts. Fans praise the flavor and convenience, though the formulation is noticeably salty for some and ther

    Handier than big cartons

    This concentrate is an excellent way to add a flavor base similar to liquid bouillon. Much easier to store and manage than large broth cartons.

  2. Ken 5/5

    Glad this exists

    Happy to be able to get this concentrated vegetarian base — very handy to have around.

  3. Laura D. 5/5

    Great pantry addition

    Rich flavor and very convenient — I recommend keeping a jar in any pantry, vegan or not.

  4. Amber 5/5

    Convenient and tasty

    So handy to use and delivers good flavor.

  5. Morgen Salas 4/5

    Delicious but extremely salty

    I would use this as my go-to soup starter because it tastes great, but it’s so salty that even after diluting I find it too intense. The vegan varieties are flavorful but the salt level ruins it for me. Please make a milder version.

  6. J. Queen 5/5

    A quiet vegan trick

    I love using this in quinoa to get a chicken-rice-a-roni vibe and it’s my secret for pho-style broth. I’m sensitive to onions and this didn’t bother me. If you can find the brand’s no-beef version, try that too.

  7. Lisa H. 5/5

    Reliable 'no chicken' base

    I use this regularly for soups, sauces and rice pilafs. It’s consistent in quality, so I always keep several jars on hand.

  8. old_MK 5/5

    Surprised at how chicken-like it tastes

    I mixed a bit into pork gravy for someone allergic to real chicken and was amazed — a quick taste was savory and very chicken-like. My only gripe is the salt level: it pushed the gravy almost past perfect. I’d love a very low- or no-sodium version so I can control overall salt without substitutes like potassium. Otherwise, it’s highly recommended.

  9. SoCalMom 5/5

    Staple for a vegan household

    A high-quality option that doesn’t disappoint. Our all-vegan household uses it in many recipes and the savory notes are consistently excellent. Highly recommended for vegan cooks.
