Nothing on the site says that it's vegetarian, they're just encouraging people to use a meat substitute to be healthier.

Yes, I was confused too by the Chicken Broth. I will be using veggie broth...

This is fantastic! I used veggie broth in place of chicken broth since I am a vegetarian.

It's just my pet peeve to have a supposedly vegetarian recipe and it uses chicken broth!
