I really like to drink chicken broth... my favorite was in those paper cups with the poker hands printed on them I got from vending machines... and again in the hospital they had good broth to drink...

.... and haven't been able to get close to that flavor at all at home...

What's the trick???

All the broth i see is for cooking... bullion cubes and powder and in those wax cartons....

How do you get good drinking chicken broth?

Marc,
I use something called L.B.Jamison's Soup base, chicken flavor when I make soup. It does have a lot of sodium though. I really haven't used it for myself since surgery. It is really good though. It is in a plastic container and it says it has 91 servings in it. One tsp in 8oz of of boiling water. You can use more or less to taste. You can also use this for gravy, sauces or just as a seasoning.One container lasts forever.

i buy swansons and some other brand at the dollar tree (the green dollar store where everything is $1.00)(yes; i am cheap!)--with the resealable spout--it's liquid-not bad stuff...i have a container at work for drinking....

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Marc:

I make my own broth.  It's easy and then I know there are NO chemicals or excess sodium.

for example:

I simmer 2 or more chicken legs or breasts on the bone in a pot of water with garlic cloves, onion, summer savoury, sea salt and freshly-ground pepper.  At first, I have the heat high to get things moving, then turn it down to simmer for hours...even adding water occasionally to keep the fluid level up.

Sometimes, I add celery, carrots and celery root for added flavour but I discard the solids after.

OR

I also will use the leftover chicken or turkey carcass/bones.  First roasting the bones in the oven until they brown..this adds extra flvour to the broth.

Then I precede as above.

I always use                                             chemical-free or organic meats to start with.

The last few pots of homemade soups and broths that I made, I tossed in a few spoons of "Montreal Steak Spice" to jazz up the flavour.

Makes delicious, low-sodium, chemical-free drinking broth!

enjoy...

Marc,

Nancy's recipe is yummy.  Nothing like homemade broth.  Try adding fresh ginger....  a small piece and some parsley towards the end....  I LOVE making my own chicken / turkey broth.....
