They say you can have chicken broth. Do they mean buy chicken broth? Drink it or do you put a cube cubito de pollo & boil it with water. I bought chicken broth but it taste nasty. Should I add water but it says don't add water. Idk what I'm suppose to do.

Not all chicken broth is created equal.. especially the store bought kind. I've bought some that were down right nasty before. Have you tried making a batch of your own? I wonder if you could use chicken broth strained from chicken soup? That might be a better flavor for you.

I bought the swonson brand. I don't like it. I'm gonna try the cube but I did get the right stuff right?

The problem with broths too.. is the sodium level so be sure to check that. As far as if you bought the right stuff.. I would think if it said chicken broth.. it was.. but it might not have tasted that great because it may have been more geared toward cooking with it (like holiday cooking.. large birds etc). Swanson might not be a good brand for sipping. I usually make my own broths so not sure how much help I can be with recommending specific brands but I know the cubes tend to have a lot of sodium so if you go that route.. get the low sodium ones

How do you make it? I love cooking so I'm good with picking up recipes quickly.

I don't really have a recipe.. I used to make my own when I was on broths after I had lap band.. then I continued to make it when I knew I would need larger batches when cooking. I take all the makings of soup.. veggies.. meat.. spices.. etc.. and cook it all together and then strain out the liquid. When you get to mushies.. you can use the veggies from the soup and smash them/puree them up etc.

Oh ok sounds good. I guess my family will be eating lots of chicken soup so I can have the broth

Chicken soup is good for you so its a win/win

You gave me a great idea I can make a big batch chicken soup Sunday's & separate the broth for me & put it in freezer last longer for the week. Plus I think liquid diet after surgery is only 2 weeks right? I follow everything the surgeon writes. I want to be skinny so bad LMFAO

You can put the broth into ice cube trays and once it is frozen.. put the cubes in a freezer bag. Since you will only be able to do little bits at a time you can grab a couple cubes.. heat them up and there is no waste I did that for my kids when I made them baby food and since them I do it with most liquids I want to freeze

Mami I did the chicken Soup and strained the noodles it was delish!!

For something different, you can also make vegetable beef and strain it. Homemade definitely has less salt.

That was a great idea for chicken or beef broth and ice cube trays(genius) I am def gonna try this! Thanks for the tips!
