Chicken Boullion (powder Or Paste) Free Of Corn/soy/gluten?

Anybody know of a chicken boullion (powder or paste) free of corn/soy/gluten? I want to make something for a potluck, and I know someone who is avoiding all 3. They are definitely a "triple threat", since it's hard to find lots of things that don't have at least one of them! :angry:

Thanks!

I do have recipes for chicken style seasoning that are vegan. They don't taste like chicken but they may work. I have not tried this recipe. It's from Guilt Free Gourmet by Vicki Griffin.

Chick-it Seasoning

Blend:

1/4 c salt

1/2 c nutritional yeast flakes

1/4-1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2-1 tsp garlic powder

1 Tb onion powder

1/2 tsp marjoram

1/2 tsp sage of summer savory

1 tb parsley

Blend thoroughly to a powder-like consistency.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

This is an excitotoxin free seasoning.

It is great in any of your recipes that call for chicken-like seasoning or chicken broth.

You can use it to season soups, sauces, gravies, burgers, loafs, or other savory dishers.

Keeps very well in the freezer, so make up a double recipe!

I was all those things "free" for awhile and never found one. Corn is in everything.

Pacific Natural Foods make a number of gluten-free SF CF broths. I haven't been able to find a DF SF gluten-free boullion but these broths make an okay substitute. Not quite the electric yellow of the boullions but a little tumeric added to the chicken colors it nicely if you like the golden yellow.

Thanks for all the recipes and responses.

I did find one brand that looks OK. It's not a chicken flavor, but I think it would work. I am not familiar with all the ways to hide corn and soy. Can you experts read it over for me? I have found several posts on this board that state that it is gluten-free, but I need to know about the soy and corn. I sent an email to the company, but haven't heard back yet. They don't have a phone number listed on their website. I need this to be a powder or paste because I am using it an a salad dressing recipe, and the broths with the water in it would dilute it too much.

I'm not sure what the mace is. Other than that it looks ok. The yeast extract is a hidden form of msg if that is something that you are concerned with.

I use the Rapunzel Bouillon and seem to do ok with it. I like the flavor too.

Andrea, mace is a spice similar to nutmeg. I think they come from the same fruit seed.

Your chicken spice mixture recipe sounds good. What is the difference between yeast extract and nutritional yeast different?

I'm not sure of the difference. The nutritional yeast is flaked. I haven't seen yeast extract. It's just on the truthinlabeling site as a hidden form of msg due to the processing proceedures.

Thanks for clearing up the mace. :)

Herb-ox(made by Hormel) boullion cubes are gluten free. I have the vegetable, chicken, and beef cubes in my pantry. Also, for liquid broth, I know Swanson's chicken broth is gluten free. I've always made gravy with this(when I didn't have a whole chicken/turkey) and was pleased to not even have to change my recipe for gravy I had always used, Mom gave it to me long ago.

If you were to make gravy here's a simple recipe. Been making this since I was around 10. (good way to keep a 10 year old boy out of trouble on thanksgiving by making him sit on a stool at the stove and make gravy)

1 can Swanson chicken broth

"random" amount of Corn Starch

I usually drop in a few spices and maybe a vegetable boullion cube or two.

It is surprising that some have used flour to make gravy. It makes an grainy texture. One tip for making the gravy. Add your corn starch to cold water and mix in well. You don't want to add it to the broth when it is cooking. Ok, I sometimes add a little bit here and there. But if you dump in corn starch to the broth while its hot, it can curdle. I usually go a little bit overboard with how much water I think I will need. Then add the water/broth, and the let the gravy reduce at low heat.(excess water steams off)

I have been using for years ----Organic Gourmet Vegitable Boullion--- that I get at Raleys or Belair Market in the natral foods section. Ican get it in regular or low sodium and love it!!!

Herb ox also makes granulated boullion that is gluten free. I like to sprinkle it on rice or veggies. Yum.

I did notice that the boullon cubes contain hydrolyzed Corn Protein - the granulated boullion does not.

In a health food store once, I also found Vogue Cuisine Instant Chicken Flavored Base. Their website is www.voguecuisine.com

(Never mind - it contains soy grits and soybean powder).

I've really enjoyed reading the responses of this post. I would also like to Thank you all for your suggestions. I also am trying to avoid gluten in meals. However, I have to avoid all forms of Corn in all my food. Rather it's corn solids, HFCS, corn starch, maltedextrin, dextrose, etc. Unfortunately it did look like the "Better than Bouillon" does have corn solids in it, which would not make it corn free. I also would like to clarify that hydrolyzed soy, hydrolyzed proteins, or hydrolyzed / autolyzed yeast are NOT forms of MSG. That is a common myth and misconception because they are both forms made of natural glutamates. However, these are not the same as MSG which is a synthetic glutamate. That doesn't mean people won't have reactions to them that are sensitive to glutamates, but to make sure the information is accurate. I just wanted to clarify these different names are different processing of natural glutamates. You can read more information about it if you'd like to at:

Anyways, I really appreciated your responses. It's been really great to find alternatives and ideas as to how to be able to cook corn, gluten, and soy free. I was starting to feel hopeless with bouillon flavorings.

Hi Mysterious!

You responded to a really old thread (2007) and it is unlikely that anyone who originally posted will respond. However, we have several members who have soy or corn intolerances.

Personally, I make my own chicken stock so I am not knowledgable about bouillon.

Soups online has a Kosher "better than bouillon" kosher chicken base. Also a kosher veggie bouillon

Ingredients:

Cooked Chicken with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Water, Olive Oil, Potato Starch - Modified, Flavoring, Turmeric.

I have not tried either, but I am placing an order for both.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
