So yesterday I had myriad stops to make while out gathering groceries for Thursday's paella. One stop was going to be Costco for chicken broth which I consider better than most at a good price, even though saltier than I would prefer, but they were closed due to the holiday. Never even dawned on me. So I ended up at the local Kroger chain and heart be still what did I find? Progresso low sodium clearance-priced at $2/qt. (Ditto the regular beef and chicken, but Iwasn't interested in those.)
Of all the commercial chicken broths I've ever used it was my favorite but I haven't seen it in 7 or 8 years. It's the ONLY low sodium broth that doesn't taste like the reduction was achieved simply by adding water to the regular broth. I had to round up a store employee and a ladder (it was on the top shelf, I couldn't reach beyond the first row, but I got all two dozen. It's probably a 3 year supply and yes home-made is better but one always needs this kind of thing on standby. And winter-soup weather's coming.
