Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 No, and it would not have the health benefits of home cooked chicken soup. For convenience, I make a lot at a time, in a very large crock pot. Then I freeze it in small portions to save time later.

You'll find referenced, in at least one cook book, some prepared broths, but the boxes of the brands recommended contained what were, to my eyes, illegals. You'll find that my favorite mantra is " Make your own, make your own, make your own! " Which is what I have to do if I want broth.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm farther along on the diet too and have used Kitchen Basics chicken stock with no problems too. I haven't contacted them to get a letter though. Also, the 365 brand vegetable broth at Whole Foods was ok for me even when I was new to the diet. Again, use anything not homemade with caution as we all react differently.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 n and Misty, Thank you for the info on the Kitchen Basics broth. I will def check out. My problems is I am not a huge lover of chicken or turkey or beef with bones in the them J If I eat beef I eat hamburger patties or brisket and even though I have been roasting chickens with recipe from pecan bread I can only tolerate so much roasted chicken. It is only me and my husband so I don’t accumulate much carcass to make the broths. I asked at the butcher yesterday if he had any cheap chicken stuff to use for a broth but unfortunately they do not. Also I will ONLY eat free range/organic animal products so it is hard to buy a whole chicken just to make the broth and throw away the meat? And Gay I appreciate your recipe. I have been making the chicken soup very similar to yours and love it … but then I eat the soup and don’t have broth left for OTHER soups. Mostly it is winter and I would just like to make a bunch more soups and want much more broth than we are accumulating carcasses for. And Marilyn, make your own, has been my mantra for years J (even before SCD) But even I, every now and then appreciate not making every single thing from scratch J I had found a recipe for albondigas soup and really wanted to make it, but we have tons of roasted chicken already in the freezer … so getting another bird just didn’t seem like a good idea yet. That’s what triggered the question. Thank you everybody for your responses. As I said I’ll check out the Kitchen Basics. Otherwise I am seriously considering just making tons of vegetable broths for my other soups that I want to make. I use a pressure cooker and making vegetable broth is really easy too.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Mara, I guess I was saying, I can only eat so much chicken J I.e. I want more broth than I can tolerate eating the chicken … anyway it looks like we found a solution to the problem yesterday. Another grocery store close by carries a brand of chicken from Draper Valley Farms. They are no antibiotics, no added hormones, no preservatives, humanely raised, sustainably farmed, etc … all the stuff I look for. Anyway they are going to order me 20 # of chicken necks so I can make as much broth as I want and not worry about having excess chicken to eat J Again, thank you everyone for your help on this, From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of Mara Schiffren Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 1:48 PM To: BTVC-SCD Subject: Re: Re: Vegetable, Chicken Broth Also I will ONLY eat free range/organic animal products so it is hard to buy a whole chicken just to make the broth and throw away the meat? who said anything about throwing away the meat?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Alyssa, I would make broth with the veggies, then strain them out if you can't tolerate them--then you have the flavor without the food itself. You could also try tying a quantity of herbs and fresh/unground spice (peppercorns, ginger slices, lemon grass chunks, chopped garlic, fresh rosemary etc. ) in a bit of cheesecloth and simmer it in the broth to impart flavor (kind of like a tea bag). If you have a good Asian food store near you, you can find all sorts of fresh exotic spice/herbs. For example, you can buy fresh turmeric root (which looks similar to fresh ginger root only the color is deep yellow/orange), and add a bit to the 'cloth simmer bag' just like you would ginger root. You could also get a nice lemon/lime flavor buy taking strips of the zest off with a peeler. If you can tolerate coconut milk or oil, that will add a nice flavor too. If you have time, do a bit of googling on herbs and spice to see what you come up with. You can do this with really small quantities of prepared 'plain' broth and have something different all the time.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Alyssa, I made zucchini soup with some beef bone broth. The pureed zucchini made the soup really thick.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Alyssa, I don’t eat or drink my broth plain. I use it to make soups and stews. I am fortunate that I can eat almost anything on SCD in moderation. So I especially like to make soups with beans and veggies which I often add a little bit of chicken and/or turkey sausage too. I was a vegan for several years so eating tons of meat, chicken, fish etc. is difficult for me. But with the broth I can make great tasting and filling soups J From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of Alyssa Luck Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 8:43 AM To: BTVC-SCD Subject: Re: Re: Vegetable, Chicken Broth I guess I was saying, I can only eat so much chicken J I.e.
