Pacific Foods Organic Gluten Free Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth - 32oz

As a soup lover who doesn't have enough time to regularly make batches of homemade soups, but who is not satisfied with either the ingredients or nutritional value of most canned soups (not to mention the horrificly high sodium levels), I'm always trying to make simple soups in one or two-serving sizes on the fly using packaged stocks (chicken or vegetable). It's very easy for me to add some steamed veggies (or beans) and seasonings to low-sodium chicken stock and then quickly heat and whirr (with my electric hand blender) up a healthy and tasty soup course. The only problem has been that I often did not want or need to use 32-ounces of the stock (the size of most aseptic packaged soup stocks) at one time. Although once opened, these 32-ounce packages can stay usable for maybe 10 days after opening, I still found myself throwing the unused contents out. Wasteful. These individually packaged small (8-ounce) sizes allow you to make just enough for a serving or two (depending on appetite) without waste. (Yes, you're paying a bit more in a cost-per-ounce comparison, but this is about convenience and avoiding waste.) Since I'm always adding my own seasonings (in dried or fresh form), the base flavor is not that important. In fact, I prefer a "neutral" or blandish stock so that it doesn't dominate the soup I"m making. I'm not saying this stock is tasteless, but if you're not used to low-sodium stock you're not gonna like any brand of it. (I use store generic brands as well as Pacific which I find tasty enough to heat up alone and sip if needed, especially in the winter. But again this is a stock and the base for building something. Not something that has a pronounced "taste/flavor" of its own. You will however, know that it is chicken and not vegetable stock.) Since I use chicken stock to flavor a lot of other dishes (including sauteed vegetables) instead of oils and butter, having small amounts available to use as needed is both convenient and cost-effective. (I would never use those horrible chicken boullion cubes and the only other alternative, a fairly tasty powdered mix from Vogue, is just too expensive in dry form and hard to find.) That the stock is organic is a big plus. That does matter to me. If you are not cooking for a crowd, but rather for one or two, and use chicken stock for soups or in other foods, these are something you'll want to keep on hand. FYI: They are hard to find in stock locally and are more expensive than amazon. It's another convenience and cost saver to be able to order them online.

low sodium is good but taste and smells like a petri dish tried to add seasonings but did not help

it has a good taste and price is on the medium level

I buy these to make my daughter’s soup/purée. I love that it’s unsalted, organic and good for you too!

It’s delicious and very low sodium intake! You can’t make this from scratch any better

This is a great bone broth for the price. There’s only one ingredient (dextrose) that I don’t like, but this is affordable.

excellent product, service and staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

A bit of a weird taste on its but used it to make rice and it was good

Favorite bone broth. I love the low sodium option

Marketed as a health product but it has added sugar that was enough to spike my glucose levels that I monitor. Would not buy again.

Tasty, easy to use, can be used alone for a fast or if you’re unable to eat solids.

Chicken broth goes with almost anything and Pacific Foods does this really well. Love their free range version since it's healthy and still has a lot of umami. We drink this just on its own or make chicken noodle soup. Very versatile and delicious!

This broth is a good base for soups, chilis, stews and curries. It has hood, buildable savory flavor and is not too salty. #

Love it! We only use the organic chicken broth and it’s great when I make soup for our big family of 6. My kids always ask for seconds!

Great price and flavor. I love this bone broth. A little pricey but the ingredients are clean.

Enjoy using this when I need chicken broth. Adds great flavor and can be used for a lot of different dishes. Convenient to use as well as to store with the twist on cap. Would recommend.

Does the job, if you’re looking to reduce quite a bit for a sauce, perhaps consider low sodium version but overall it’s a good broth, competitive price. Really like that it comes in one cup pack of 6 or the quart size.

very tasty food for lunch so that the whole family can eat quickly and on time to continue with the work of the day in an effective way

Great chicken broth with a great taste and simple ingredients! I’ve used this for soups, cooking rice and just to drink when sick!

This is a brand that I know and trust. The chicken broth has a very nice flavor, color and smell. It is rich with chicken goodness and is my go to broth of choice!
