Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to mention one of the hardest things to give up is chicken broth. I love using it in soups, risottos, lentils and rice. I saw a couple of recipes in here for veg broth. They look pretty good. I plan on making it sometime. But I'm also looking for store bought veg broth. Does anyone have any recommendations? I tried one from Trader Joe's and it was just aweful! It's the only one they sell unfortunately. I shop mostly at Whole Foods and sometimes Safeway but don't know what's the best kind. Any ideas? Thanks, Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Jennifer: I do not like the taste of any veggie broth I have ever bought.... I make my own veg-stock usign bits and pieces and ends of whatever goes through the kitchen....it doesn't always taste great..*L* but at least I know what's in it.....and it does the job. marie On 6/21/07, ruffleeme <roughleyme wrote: > > Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I can't remember what brand I bought but I want to say it was that 365 Organics brand made for Whole Foods. I have used it many times before and to make that soup I posted and it was quite good - On 6/21/07, ruffleeme <roughleyme wrote: > > Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Swansons makes one that's downright awful...loaded with sugar and everything you use it in is sweet. Ugh! I use Knorr veggie cubes in a lot of things...soup, rice, lentils...so far I find them to be the best. TM But I'm also looking for store bought veg broth. Does anyone have any ecommendations? ______________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I have found the almost all veggie broth is horrid. I did find some nice cubes, once...and don't recall the name. If I run across them again, I will post. Pam --- ruffleeme <roughleyme wrote: > Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to > mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I like Rapunzel's no salt, vegan, vegetable cubes. They are almost as good as home made and don't take near as long. There is no offensive after taste. Katie --- ruffleeme <roughleyme wrote: > Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to > mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 We use Pacific or Imagine brands - both of which are available " organic " certified broths, and are both quite good - but, by far the best veggie broth is that - that you've made from your own fresh organic veggies right from your garden! does not get much cleaner, fresher or better than that! doc , " ruffleeme " <roughleyme wrote: > > Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 When I am in a hurry, I simply add miso to the dish when the cooking is over, taste for seasoning. Some of the milder misos work for " chicken " broth and the darker ones, for " beef " broth. I also use Spike instead of salt for adding to cooking--it has herbs in it as well as salt. It also contains no MSG, as most of the commercial seasoned salts do. Normally, I make my own broth using vegetable peelings and vegetable cooking water that I freeze. I cook all of this up adding onions, garlic, and bay leaves. I make sure when I buy beets that I buy golden beets [red beets would ruin the subtle effect] so that I can use the slightly sweet cooking liquid for my next broth project. It really gives white sauces and gravies a really interesting taste that no one can figure out. Very good with curries and other Asian foods. One of the best parts of becoming a vegetarian is the challenge of a new cooking world. I am still learning and have been a veggie since 1976. These vegetarian lists have given me many good ideas.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Also, Laurel's Kitchen, the vegetarian stand-by cookbook, has a non chicken broth recipe in it that uses yellow split peas. I made it--it is great. Kathleen Since I'm very new to the vegetarian thing I want to mention one of > the hardest things to give up is chicken broth.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've tried a couple of broths and the one I like the best so far is College Inn brand. It runs about $1 a can and a local store has it, not a health food store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I too like the Rapunzel's veggie broth cubes. I like being able to make just the amount I need. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
