In a Pinch….
August 24, 2016
Let’s get this out of the way right from the start: it’s not home-made. It doesn’t taste like the stock you make yourself from bones. It is also a little too salty.
However, it’s not disgusting. Which is, when it comes to canned chicken broth, a first in my experience.
And sometimes, let’s face it, you run out of homemade stock.
I made risotto from this broth last night, and it was more than acceptable. So I plan on making sure I’ve always got some on hand.

I can’t find a list of stores that carry this on their website–did you have to order it from Spain?
Joy, I bought it at Rubiner’s in Great Barrington Mass. I’ll try to find other outlets.
Hi Ruth. “Disgusting” in the word for chicken broth out of a carton or can. Even Trader Joe’s. What do you think about “Better than Boullion”? It’s salty but has a decent flavor.
Love you,
Janet
Hi Ruth! You’re spot on with the word “disgusting” when it comes to canned or boxed chicken broth. Even Trader Joe’s is a little stinky. What do you think of “It’s Better than Boullion”? It’s too salty but has some flavor.
You rock,
Janet
I’m with you on this one, Ruth. This looks like a particularly good, bad-ingredient-free one. In Australia quality stock costs $$, so it is best in the end to make it unfortunately.
A bit expensive for everyday use, but will try it. What bouillons are the least offensive? Sometimes I take the carcass of the supermarket roasted chickens, add carrots, onions, water and make broth/soup; not too bad in a pinch. 🙂
