Really scraping the bottom of the review barrel here, since this is indistinguishable from the Unsalted Chicken Broth and the Regular Chicken Broth. But it is technically a hybrid of those two broths, and therefore a unique product. It was, as always, fine. Made some nice chicken enchilada soup with it. It was a little salty. さすが chicken broth.

Just call me Lord of the Broths. This is a good one. I needed 5 cups and it is FOUR cups, and my store had just ONE BOX (bashed up, to boot) remaining. Must be that avian influenza. But it was a good box. I made beef stew (wine-free edition) and the broth was definitely better than the beef, and for that I thank this low-sodium base. It tastes like Beef Broth, but not in a tomatoey or itchy way, just in a warm, thin, vaguely herbal way. Thanks, Swanson! Soy-free as always.

I was a little nervous to try this, since you never know about "natural flavors" re: legumes, especially in a veggie broth, but it caused me no itchiness. The taste was also suitable! Good for your soups and stews. These Swanson broths are really solid, allergy-wise. I hope they never add rogue legumes in there.

The distinction among broths and stocks and etcs is a bit lost on me, but they all serve roughly the same purpose: watering down some noodly meal and infusing a light meat flavor (maybe). I guess I do notice beef vs chicken, but otherwise I don't have much to say. There's no legumes and I didn't get itchy, so I'm sticking with Swanson on these.
