Read the “secret” ingredients! (please!)

Here are the ingredients for a chicken broth from a grocery store that is both fat free and has no artificial colours or flavours:

CHICKEN BROTH (WATER, CHICKEN STOCK), SALT, BARLEY YEAST EXTRACT, DEXTROSE, FLAVOUR, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, DISODIUM GUANYLATE, DISODIUM INOSINATE, CANOLA OR SOYBEAN OIL.

I think I may just stick to my mom’s good old-fashioned recipe for chicken broth:

  • Chicken bones with some meat
  • Chopped celery, carrots and potatoes

Place the above in a stockpot, boil for a couple of hours, skim the fat and enjoy!

Much healthier and simpler, don’t you find?
