Title: Chicken broth/beef broth
Post by: Princess Cheese on January 03, 2014, 08:48:29 PM
What brand do you use?  I need to to be safe for PA/TNA/Shellfish/Fish

Also if a recipe calls for Cream of --- something soup, what brand do you use?  I don't feel comfortable using Campbell's.

Not sure about how they are irt fish/shellfish but I started using Kitchen Basics broth. For the cream of whatever soup,  I use Great Value.

We use Imagine brand (at Whole Foods & Loblaws).  Many varieties have gluten-free and dairy-free labels.  Seem very good at labelling.  Never called them.

If I need a cream of soup, I google around to find a recipe we can use.  Most pre-made are not safe for my gluten/egg allergic child or if it's safe for him, it's not safe for the peanut allergic child.  They are relatively easy to make but just take an extra few steps.

We use Progresso or Kitchen Basics.

See my allergies below. We use Imagine No-Chicken Broth and their No-Chicken bouillon.

I need cream of something soup about once or twice a year, and I keep a couple of cans of Amy's Cream of Mushroom on hand for those times. It's a bit more expensive, but I can totally justify it. :) Amy's food is vegetarian. No shellfish on site!  They do use sesame, but it's one of the few companies that labels very well for sesame.

Macabre, where do you buy your bullion?  Would Walmart or HyVee have it?  we don't have a Whole Foods, Trader Joes or anything like that around here.

You can check Walmart in the organic soup selections.  I find our grocery stores (Walmart) and the other tend to have these brands in either a section by themselves with the other organic foods or on a top shelf.

We used to find it at Kroger. Now we are in Minnesota we are shopping at stores that are only here.

I would try what YKW suggested.

I use College Inn.  DD is peanut, tree nut and shellfish....but not fish.....  They don't make a fish broth that I know of...you might want to call.  I use beef, chicken and vegetable.

I use Kitchen Basics for broth. I have to admit we use Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom (used at holidays to make green bean casserole). Otherwise, we don't purchase soup.

The reason I don't trust most cream of something soups is that i worry about shellfish XC.

Walmart does carry Kitchen Basics - it's boxed broth (top shelf).  If you search, you can find recipes to make cream of whatever based on your broth.

Our walmart doesn't have it. They only have Great Value (which I consider safe for pn and tn if it's not labeled with a warning but it's not as good as kitchen basics and their boxes are always dented beyond recognition) and Swanson.

For broths I use OXO.

For cream of _______ I use Campbell's.  Is there something about them I don't know?  I don't know that I've called, but I've never had a problem.
