Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian Base Variety Pack — No Chicken & No Beef, 2x8 oz concentrated paste, 9.5 qt yield

Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian Base Variety Pack delivers concentrated, spoonable no-chicken and no-beef bases that add savory, simmered flavor to broths, sauces, and recipes without animal stock.

These two 8-ounce jars — No Chicken Base and No Beef Base — are concentrated pastes made from seasoned vegetables and savory aromatics so you can get deep, cooked-all-day flavor quickly. Unlike dry bouillon cubes, the paste texture lets you control intensity by the spoonful, and each jar yields about 9.5 quarts of broth (roughly 38 servings). Use them to enhance soups, grains, marinades, glazes, and vegetarian or vegan dishes where you want a rich, balanced backbone of flavor.

How do I use these vegetarian bases to make broth and soups?

Mix a measured amount of base with hot water to create instant broth or stir a spoonful directly into simmering soups for more depth. The paste dissolves easily and integrates into liquids, delivering a roasted, savory profile without needing long cooking times.

• Ratio: typically 1 teaspoon base to 1 cup (8 fl oz) water, adjust to taste.
• For richer stock, dissolve in a small amount of hot water first, then add to pot.
• Add near the end of cooking for a flavor boost or early for a more melded taste.

What dishes get better with No Chicken and No Beef bases?

These bases are versatile: use them wherever you’d normally want savory depth. They’re ideal for vegetarian main dishes but also work well in meat recipes as complementary umami support.

• Soups and stews — quick vegetable or lentil stews with a roasted-simmered note.
• Grains and pasta — stir into risotto, pilaf, or pasta water for extra flavor.
• Marinades and glazes — mix with oil, vinegar, or soy sauce for savory coatings.
• Slow-cooker meals — add a spoonful before long cooks to layer intensity.

How much will one jar make and how do I store it?

Each 8-ounce jar stretches a long way because the paste is concentrated. Proper storage preserves freshness and makes spooning easier when you return to the jar.

• Yield: about 9.5 quarts of broth per jar, approximately 38 servings.
• Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator after opening; use within manufacturer recommended timeframe.
• Use a clean spoon to avoid contamination and maintain flavor quality.

Are these bases suitable for vegetarian or vegan cooking?

The No Chicken and No Beef bases are crafted from seasoned vegetables and are labeled vegetarian options. They provide savory, umami-rich flavor to plant-based recipes without using chicken or beef ingredients.

• Formulated from vegetable-derived ingredients and seasonings.
• Useful for vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian dishes that need a savory lift.
• Check label for full ingredient list if you have strict dietary requirements.

Who is this for: Home cooks and food lovers who want rich, homemade-style flavor quickly — especially vegetarians, vegans, and anyone reducing meat who still wants robust savory notes. This variety pack is a practical pantry upgrade for weeknight meals, batch cooking, and creative cooks who prefer to add flavor by spoonfuls rather than measuring out powders or waiting for long simmer times.
