I now use far more cans of broth than I used to. Some are better than others. Since I tend to use the 14 ounce cans, my choices are limited. What brands do you use? I use both chicken and beef. Low Sodium?
Our store brand seems diluted so that's out and the only options for me are Swanson's and College Inn. Other brands such as Progresso are available but come in larger, cardboard box type containers. I would never use that much at a time. I cook just for me and would prefer not to freeze it. Stir fried dinner is usually a spur of the moment thing when I have no interest in making a more complicated meal.

1. I don't use it often but I like the organic store brand at Whole Foods. It comes in a reasonably priced three pack of 8 oz. boxes which eliminates alot of waste for me. Many times I don't need a whole can and I don't always get around to using what's left over.
Oh geezuz.
franksolich buys broth, and usually doesn't need the whole can.
It's cheap, broth.
The leftover broth, franksolich gives the cats; it's true it's high in salt, but franksolich has it on the word of the veterinary that, hey, these cats here have no urinary problems and since broth isn't something given them but only very rarely (maybe once every two months), it's no big deal.

2. Don't know if you'd consider a v****e option, but Imagine Organics 'No-Chicken Broth' is REALLY good
after which a photograph of something, whatever it is

]The box has a little plastic lid t****y on the top, so you can re-close it and don't have to use the whole amount at once.
Chicken broth was one ingredient I really missed after going v*g, but this stuff solved that problem for me. And it's organic too!

3. I miss College Inn, it is really the best out there but they don't sell it in NM. Sniff.
Since I don't like the stuff in the box or Swanson's, I use Better than Bouillon.
They do make the stuff in the box in 8 oz. boxes, although I haven't seen it here.
