What is the Best broth to use for soup.

[rainmaker626]

I am o using powder and cube broth for my soups. Is this ok or what should I use or look out for. I am end of my phase 1 but had no soups which I love because i am not sure if the powder soup broth is ok. I a doing thsi diet on a very tight food budget. Just found this site so I thought I would ask.

Thanks for any advice.

Either is probably fine, but likely depends on the ingredients. Look for added sugars or starches which would make it less P1 friendly, but I can't really imagine why either would be in a broth. Other than that, I'd probably pick whichever is lower in sodium.

I use Swanson Chicken Broth in a box. The one I normally us is 100% fat free and 33% less sodium. I use it for soups, gravy, to cook vegies, etc.

Oops, just reread and see that you're on a budget. I don't remember what Swanson costs but it's probably not the cheapest. Sorry!

The cheapest is probably to make your own from meat scraps. Or, you can make stock using any bones. You can also make a broth using the parts of vegetables you don't eat (ends of carrots, onions, etc.). Strain out the scraps/bones and if you used any meat, be sure to de-fat the broth or stock.
