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.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.
