Bleeeccckkkk (better than bouillon veggie broth concentrate)
« on: December 28, 2016, 02:53:15 PM »
I normally make my own. Freeze it. And it lasts for a year or more. http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/homemade-bouillon-recipe.html

But I ran out and things have been crazy so I bought better than bouillon, based on a friend's reco. I made my favorite veggie soup with it this past weekend and ugh. I took one bite and all I could taste was soysauce. Looked up the ingredients and, sure enough, soysauce is right there on the bottle.

I just cant with soysauce in my vaguely italian veggie soup which is more  of a tomato, parm, and bean broth base. I hate throwing away an entire batch of soup but I can't see myself eating this.  :nono:

Yeah, soy sauce in an italian soup is just wrong.  >:(

Do you think it would work in an asian style soup? Or are you just going to chuck the BTB entirely?

I will have to check on that.  I have a chicken version of BBTB.

the better than bouillon chicken base is good.  i haven't tried the others.

my preferred veggie broth brand is kitchen basics.

I use the Better Than Bouillon lobster base for shrimp-garlic risotto.  It's very good for that purpose.

I bit the bullet and made my own last weekend. Now I'm back to happy camper land. :)
