Chicken Stock

chicken

celery

carrots (,

onions (,

bay leaves

rosemary

thyme

peppercorns

water

Tablespoons Better than bouillon chicken paste* (, or 6 chicken bouillon cubes)

Place rotisserie chicken, vegetables, spices and water into a large soup pot.&nbsp;

Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low heat for at least 2 hours or longer.

Remove from heat and allow to cool. 

Strain stock through a fine sieve strainer, discarding all vegetables and seasonings so you are only left with the stock. Season with chicken boullion paste, to taste. 

Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Skim off the fat that rises to the top. If not using within a few days, freeze for up to 3 months.

This is amazing! I had no idea you could use nutritional yeast to make bouillon powder. This is such a great alternative for vegans and I bet it tastes great for the rest of us too.

So interesting! I do buy a plant based "chicken" bouillon for cooking for my vegan family members, but I never would have thought to make it myself. I can't wait to try. It looks so simple, too!

great 'chicken' essence bouillon powder recipe! i'm totally making myself a jar right now!

From a culinary perspective - love this. I've been doing a lot of experimenting with meat substitutes (e.g. seitan) and it's really, REALLY great to have plant-based flavour bases.  My faux-chicken has been hit or miss, so a chicken-y bouillon powder is just what I need.

From a food blogging and photography perspective, I LOVE how you shot this.  It's such a pain to make spices/powders/etc look interesting, and you really did a wonderful job here.  Cheers!

I had no idea how easy this was. I had everything, but just had to buy nutritional yeast!

This is so handy! Chicken bouillon is something I use  very very often in my kitchen. I'm definitely gonna make a batch of this. Thanks for this recipe, Vanessa!
P.S. I love your food photography!

This is so amazing, LOVE the flavor!! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
