I LOVE MAKING MY OWN HOMEMADE MUSHROOM BROTH. IT ADDS GREAT FLAVOR TO EVERYTHING I COOK. OR MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER IF YOUR ILL. AND UNLIKE ALL THOSE STORE BOUGHT BROTHS MINE HAS VIRTUALLY NO SODIUM. I TAKE A LARGE POT OF WATER, ADD SOME CLEANED MUSHROOM STEMS, GARLIC, SHALLOTS, AND PEPPER, THEN AT THE END, WHEN IT COOLS OFF I ADD SOME FRESH HERBS LIKE CHIVES THEN FREEZE THE USING ICE CUBE TRAYS. THEN WHEN NEEDED I JUST THAW THEM OUT PRETTY QUICKLY. MMM… SOOO GOOD!!

I use low sodium chicken broth in recipes to replace or reduce the oil, especially when frying!

I add broth to my brown rice when I make it instead of just plain water. I also chill my left over broth from par boiling chicken to make a vegetable chicken soup the next day.

I steam small cut up potatoes in broth, then I add onions, spinach, a tablespoon of butter, and a little cheese. It makes a taste side dish.

I drop a package of ramen noodles (hello-junk food my boyfriend can’t live without) or rice noodles in a can of broth. then dump in some frozen veggies. Then throw in an egg at the end, or some frozen shrimp if your feeling fancy. This is my at work dinner a lot & I get lots of envious looks! & its so easy I have time to make it & eat in on my 1/2 hour break!

I add chicken broth to the water when i cook pasta. This adds flavor to the oasta & seems to fill us up sooner. We don’t eat as much, I thnk, because there is more flavor!
