Does anyone have any suggestions on making low sodium broths by scratch? Any help would be appreciated.

I do. The most nutritious broths are really, homemade bone broths. Simple version is to take an entire chicken (cut up) with skin and bones. Add 2 quarts if Water, onions, celery, carrots, bay leaves, salt, and pepper (or salt substitute). I like garlic in mine too.

Either cook in a pressure cooker on high for 10 minutes or cook on medium low on the stove. If on stove, low, slow heat is the way to go and it will likely twke an hour. You will have to skim foam off the top a lot initially. Once the chicken is falling off the bone, strain out all the solids. Put the broth into containers and refrigerate. A layer of fat will form on the top. Scoop off and either throw away or use for cooking.

The broth underneath will not be like store bought liquid broth. It will be almost like Jello. This is due to the Gelatin from the bones and other nutritious goodness. You can use this as you please.

Beef broth is a little more complicated but if your butcher will give you bones with marrow,muon can roast them in a 300-350 degree oven to brown, and then repeat the steps above.

It's really hard to go back to store-bought once you make your own broth.
