This is my first time hearing of such an ingredient. I would guess it’s supposed to mimic a chicken flavor? The package is a potato soup mix.

Yes. It’s a thing. You can buy it.
Mimics chicken stock flavour.

Looks like it’s a spiced broth thing to mimic chicken stock. It doesn’t have any ingredients that are like “natural flavors” within the parentheses, so it seems fine?

Its just stock made from a vegetarian chicken

The parentheses tell you what it contains. Faux chicken flavored broth.

Better than boulion makes a no chicken chicken broth. There are other available as well.

Imagine makes a good non chicken chicken stock

Your intuition is spot on, it tends to be a pretty good product too. The yeast extract is the key that makes it more than a vegetable stock, it gives it a notable savory note.

By the way, these are vegetarian “beef” and “chicken” and they are quite good.
Of course. From chick that was fed a vegetarian diet.

No-chicken broth is an amazing ingredient for vegetarian cooking. It has solved so many cravings for me— I don’t actually need the chicken in a lot of comfort dishes, just the chickeny flavor with some veggies will do it. Sometimes regular veggie broth isn’t quite the right flavor profile.
There are several specifically-marketed vegetarian versions (Better than Bouillon is probably the best known), but sometimes the cheap store brand chicken bouillon cubes will be accidentally vegetarian too. They aren’t quite as good as BTB, but easier to find and work great in a pinch, especially for cheap, cozy comfort food.

Vegetarian chicken broth is a game changer, I highly recommend getting some for next time you’re cooking. I know this is a package, but I love the better than bouillon vegan chicken broth. I always have a jar of it. I just used some tonight for some chili I made!

Chicken stock is made with some common seasonings and plants, which are listed in the parenthesis. Celery is a super tasty flavoring for soups of all kinds.

Yeah look at the stuff in the parentheses which will entail what’s in it for this list
eeeebbs

My friends use both the BTB base version and the Imagine broth version for a lot of Friendsgiving dishes so that I and one other person can partake in some of the dishes that would otherwise be a no-no just because of the stock chosen. And they have said it’s no different to their taste buds.

What did you think Jewish vegetarians put their matzah balls in? It’s been available in the kosher section forever!

Most chicken stock where I’m from is vegan. Only the really expensive ones aren’t
