SMART SHOPPING: BROTH ALTERNATIVES

000

When you cook for two, you know the frustration of recipes calling for just half a cup of broth. Luckily, there are a few handy alternatives—bouillon and broth concentrates—that make it easy to use smaller amounts and avoid waste. These dehydrated and concentrated forms of chicken and beef broth are shelf-stable and cost-effective (because you’re not paying for the water) and last for up to two years once opened. We particularly like Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base, which costs just $5.99 for a jar that makes 38 cups of broth.
