    Every good meal starts with a great flavor base. This homemade paleo "chicken" bouillon is full of great flavor and has no funny additives, leaving it friendly for almost every diet - Whole30, Paleo, Keto, and Vegan.

    I have been making this recipe for years since I first made Paleo Ramen Zoodles in a Jar. The original version was great, but I added a few extra things and jazzed it up to take it over the top. It is perfect for adding a boost of flavor to soups, stews, and gravies and is the perfect flavoring for paleo pressure canned chicken.

    🥘 Ingredient Notes

    The ingredients in paleo chicken bouillon, labeled.
    • Nutritional Yeast - Nutritional yeast gives this bouillon that underlying almost cheesy kind of flavor that is crucial to the "bouillon" aspect of the recipe!
    • Kosher Salt - I use kosher salt for nearly everything, but you can also use sea salt. I would not recommend using table salt because the salt crystals are smaller and will get lost.
    • Ground Turmeric
    • Dried Thyme
    • Dried Rubbed Sage - The sage is a very small amount, but it adds a really nice flavor!
    • Dried Oregano
    • Dried Basil
    • Dried Minced Onion
    • Ground Ginger
    • Umami Powder: You can buy Umami powder at Trader Joe's or make your own. (Umami powder is not a mandatory ingredient - you can leave it out, but it does take the flavor to a new, deeper level.)
