I think we don't make our own beef broth because we almost never have beef bones on hand, and the process takes a little longer than chicken broth.Barb @ A Life in Balancehttp://alifeinbalance.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-1593598714278128132011-04-03T19:15:09.379-07:002011-04-03T19:15:09.379-07:00This is my strategy for making chicken broth too. ...This is my strategy for making chicken broth too. I use a brand of chicken base called Orrington Farms. The last 16 oz jar I bought cost $3.99 and it goes a long way (the label says 91 servings). Plus it's gluten free too!Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566271819831940719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-16945224587479250092011-04-01T19:03:05.121-07:002011-04-01T19:03:05.121-07:00Megwrites, I'm so glad they took that out!

That would have been a deal breaker for me.<br /><br />Lane, I agree that homemade is best, but for me, the maltodextrin is no worse than plastic in my soup, so i'll take the glass container with less waste and less packaging.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-59714508627575928192011-04-01T18:26:13.658-07:002011-04-01T18:26:13.658-07:00I usually always waste unused broth, too as I also...I usually always waste unused broth, too as I also use boxed broth (the same brand pictured). Why I prefer it is because of the ingredients - or lack thereof. They are all natural (and I don't mean the greenwashing kind of natural). I've looked at bouillon cubes before and I always cringed at the ingredients list. Even the ones in our natural food stores don't have quality ingredients.<br /><br />My goal is to actually make my own broth and freeze it in ice cube trays so I then use only EXACTLY what I need, when I need it - and then I'll truly have no waste.Lane'http://www.thelivinggreensolution.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-55634624218962990392011-03-31T22:50:12.994-07:002011-03-31T22:50:12.994-07:00I use this same kind.
