Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I use Telma brand broth cubes. They are usually in the kosher section. They have potato starch in them so I don't know if other broths would come out thinner? It's easy to add extra flour if so. Whenever I soak dried shiitake mushrooms I save the water in the freezer for broths & things. It tastes nice. Just take dried shiitake mushrooms and soak them until soft in some warm water. Use the mushrooms in whatever recipe and save the water in the fridge or freezer. Diane , jplynch <jplynch wrote: > > what kind of broth works best with this recipe?
