better than bouillon base for soup

:::no affiliation, no benifit::: this stuff rocks. I ran out of homemade stock early in January. I have made 2 lots of lentil soup and used the roasted chicken base to make a Thai style coconut shredded chicken soup last Saturday. So thanks TygrBright, NJCher, Liberal Jesus Freak & Staph for the recommendation. BTW garlic naan & lentil soups.....§§air kisses§§

I've also used pre made broth to make rice/noodles/start a beef or chicken roast. I like this much better, to my tastebuds it does not taste as salty as Maggi bouillon or LB Jamisons brands. Better than bouillon works better for me, cost seems compariable, depending on grocery store.

didn't let me clue in that that was the brand/product name.

I'll give it a shot - especially the beef or mushroom stock. My wife boils an old hen every month, so we always have frozen chicken stock around.

Thanks for the tip.

Peace, TPM

I keep a few flavors in the fridge: lobster, clam, beef, and au jus. I haven't tried the chicken yet, though I suspect it's next!

I have used BTB for years--the veggie one. But they said Orrington Farms was the best. This is a broth base that is powdered. I got some and have to say it is really tasty. Added benefit is that it doesn't take up space in the fridge.
