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.

      Hello, @Lightingthunder2, I understand how confusing Celiac can be, especially when one develops other health problems. I developed Type Two Diabetes and was prescribed Metformin.  I started feeling weak and tired.  I searched for answers using my nutrition and microbiology education to find answers.   I learned that Metformin can cause Thiamin Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Metformin blocks the thiamin transporters that allow thiamin to enter cells.   Keep in mind that Celiac Disease causes poor absorption of all nutrients, vitamins and minerals that our bodies require daily to live.  Thiamin can be rapidly depleted because it cannot be stored for very long (3 - 21 days).  With Metformin blocking entry into cells and malabsorption from celiac disease, thiamine deficiency can set in quickly.  The early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency can be vague and easily be attributed to other things, like a bad day at work, and doctors can easily overlook the symptoms.  Doctors aren't well educated in nutritional deficiencies.  My doctors were clueless.   I took thiamin in the form Benfotiamine and followed the Autoimmune Paleo diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself).  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  The Paleo diet cuts out most high carbohydrate foods.  This helps me keep my blood glucose levels under control without Metformin or other medications.  Now, I do add in occasionally rice or potatoes.  I avoid most gluten free processed foods since they are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products and are filled with saturated fats.  I do not take any pharmaceuticals for high blood glucose.  I control my type two diabetes with diet, and take Benfotiamine. Thiamine deficiency is found in both Type One and Type Two Diabetes.  Thiamin is not properly reabsorbed in the kidneys in both types.  Since thiamin is water soluble, it is lost easily in urine.  Type One Diabetes has a genetic component which involves thiamine transporters in cells not functioning properly due to faulty genetic information.  Type Two Diabetes may result as a consequence of thiamine insufficiency.  Ninety-eight percent of diabetics in both types are Thiamin deficient.   Discuss with your doctor and Nutrutionist any dietary changes and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals while you are healing. Here are some articles I found helpful.  Thiamine and diabetes: back to the future? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8505293/ The potential role of thiamine (vitamin B1) in diabetic complications https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18220605/ Thiamine Level in Type I and Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Comparative Study Focusing on Hematological and Biochemical Evaluations https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32528766/ Exploring the link between dietary thiamine and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in US adults aged 45 years and older: Insights from a cross-sectional investigation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39642136/ Metformin Is a Substrate and Inhibitor of the Human Thiamine Transporter, THTR-2 (SLC19A3) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26528626/

      I'm not a gastro doctor, but it seems reasonable to conclude that they would be able to spot any cancer-related issues during the endoscopy, at least in the areas that were checked.
    • Matt13
      Sorry cut out. Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejunum and everything is ok (other than some of the samples is not readable but the explanation is very small and short, villi form good samples is OK and  they only found inflammation in lamina propria. Sorry, I am little overwhelm by this and scared so dr.google almost every-time frightens me. Would my GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.
