Savory Choice Broth

Savory Choice's broth line is a good alternative to the morning cup of miso soup. (photo by Courtney)

At Fancy Food West I picked up some samples of Savory Choice's line of broths and demi glace. I was intrigued by their product because it is sold in really small quantities - broth comes in boxes with as few as four individual packets, and the demi glace retails in a single unit.

The broth comes as a thick liquid in a single-serving pouch. (photo by Courtney)

For my breakfast soup this morning, I tried the beef broth instead of our usual miso soup. As I often do with the miso soup, I mixed in a couple of sliced mushrooms and scallions. The result was quite good, with a distinct beef flavor that was not too salty. Because the broth is already in liquid form, it mixes up as quickly as instant miso, without having to stir and blend, as you must with Better than Bouillon. Although Better than Bouillon remains my favorite line of bases for cooking, I would definitely use the Savory Choice broth for a quick cup of broth to drink, and appreciate having a new choice for breakfast.
