I'll admit it. I'm a broth snob. I only buy Swanson broth. I've tried generic broth, and every time I do, there's congealed fat in the can. It grosses me out. So I buy Swanson. Well, I used to.
I've blogged about making my own chicken broth. I got 11 cups the last time I did it!!!!!!! That's about equivalent to 6 cans of broth. There's almost 2 cups in a regular can.
For beef broth, I use Better Than Bouillon. At my Kroger, it's $5.99 for each jar. There is enough in the jar to be equivalent to 19 cans of broth!!!!!!!! I think it tastes better than canned broth, too. So it tastes better, there's no waste from all those cans, and it's cheaper! It's a bit of a pain because you need boiling water to make the actual broth. But for me, the advantages far outweigh that!
I used to make my own, but I'm usually in too much of a rush to wait for it and it doesn't taste as good as commercial ones :( So my solution was to make my own, but use the shorter method from this site http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_chicken_stock/ -> Method 2. Chicken backs, wings, and legs.
