Savory Choice Chicken Broth Concentrate, 5.1-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

I've been using this chicken broth for over a year now and I think it is fantastic. I do use more water (11 ozs.) than the package calls for and the salt level in the diluted broth is just about right for us. The broth has the flavor of juices left over from a roasted chicken - deep and flavorful. I don't even bother to keep regular cans of broth on the shelf anymore. I buy large cans of broth only when I need them for a big batch of soup. The individual packets are very convenient.

Looking at the reviews here you'd think these were straight out of Star Trek- just put the packet in the inflate-a-lator 4000 and out pops a chicken.

Kidding aside I *really* wanted to love this product. I typically use canned broth or make my own from scratch, a time consuming process. Savory Choice Chicken Broth Concentrate is not vile by any means but has what I can only describe as a "sweaty sock" taste to it. I've tried to adapt to it but keep coming to the conclusion that my palate simply finds it offensive. The sodium content is also outrageous: one packet, equivalent to 1 cup of broth contains 770mg of salt- ouch.

I'd still consider this in a pinch instead of a bullion cube but it's not as good as canned broth.

For a product with no MSG, this is amazingly good. We were very surprised and just as pleased.

A few years ago I saw a little ad blurb from Swanson broth about cooking white rice with chicken broth instead of water. Intrigued I tried it out and loved it. So easy - one can of broth and one cup of rice. Since then I've never used plain water.

I like this broth. It does have a more intense chicken flavor which is not always a good thing I reckon but so far I haven't had a problem with it. It gives the rice a slight tan color that is appealing.

I like the fact that I can store 4 (15oz) cans worth of broth in less than one can's space. I really, really like that about this broth.

The price is pretty good too on subscribe and save - about .65 cents for the equivalent of a can of broth.

I usually buy Wal-Mart's Great Value chicken broth but the taste and space savings really makes it worth the extra 10 to 15 cents. And at about 65 cents it is not more expensive than the name brands.

I wasn't sure that a concentrate would be as good as the boxed broths. It is wonderful. Takes up so much less room in my pantry and I can use as little or as much as I need and not have to store it in the refrigerator waiting to be used for another meal.
