Best Tasting Chicken Broth?



Recommended Posts

I'm in the liquid diet stage and chicken broth is so bland. Does anyone have some brands they've found taste better than others?

Different doctors might have different ideas, but I always had to add some salt to my broth to be able to get it down. I tried some of the more expensive kinds (Rachel Ray has some and Wolfgang Puck) but they were all still just chicken broth. :(

I ordered the sample pack from injury and found their chicken broth pleasant. Hope I still do post op because I ordered a tub!

I find other broths blah. So I may as well get some Protein in too!

Thank you! I have a couple samples of the Unjury broth that I haven't tried yet. Hopefully it's good! I didn't care for any of the other flavors :( I was thinking of springing for the more expensive brand name broths as well, good to know they're still just broth lol!

I made ramen without the noodles. Sometimes I added tofu that I whirred in the blender. I thought the Unjury was a waste.

Two days after my surgery the hospital gave me lukewarm chicken broth. When it touched my lips I was feeling well enough to go home. I almost walked home. At home it is low-sodium Campbell's with white pepper.

I take regular low salt chicken broth and simmer it with a bag of frozen Soup veggie mix and a clove or two of garlic, and then drain off the vegetables. It makes it taste more like chicken soup and less like chicken broth.

That sounds like a great idea!!

I didn't like the different kinds of chicken broth I tried after surgery, until one day I was searching the chicken broth shelf for something new and noticed that the next shelf over had Mrs Grass noodle soup! I just made the Soup and didn't add the noodles! Mrs Grass became a staple for me in the beginning!!

I was using Organic Healthy Valley it tasted more like Soup than broth and has 9g of Protein which was a bonus!

I found the tasty chicken broth had lots of salt. After about a week I felt like a salt lick and searched out the lowest sodium both /soups I could find. Now at 8 eek post op I am letting a little salt back in, but it is suprising how little I use anymore. I hardley exceed 1200 MG per day. 2000 is were the FDA sets the normal level.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
