Need a good brand of broth to buy. My mother has been in the hospial and hasn't eaten in a long time. She hates the hospital's broth and asked me to pick up some. No time to cook any before we go see her. TIA

    - Organic Gourmet makes a good veggie bouillon. Don't get the low sodium though.

  - i was thinking this. some restaurants sell very good chicken soup. unless she wants to leave it there for more meals.

  - if she's in Lenox Hill,Pastrami Queen across the street is supposed to have good chicken soup. I bet they'd sell you the broth if that's all she can have. Chicken is probably the mildest. We use some organic brand called Pacific something - sorry don't have any not for the exact name. Sorry your mom is not well.

      - NP: Most "gourmet" prepared food stores sell some sort of house-brand (ready-made) broth (I only know NYC stores like Citarella, but there must be places nearby).

- in a crunch, you can get Swanson chicken broth in cans or cartons at any grocery store. I think it tastes just fine

  - np: Cook's Illustrated recently reviewed prepared broths. Swanson's Low Sodium was best.

- Can you get it from a good Jewish restaurant/diner? They have the best imo.

- kitchen essentials organic chicken broth is what the food network endorses (they use it on the shows without blocking out the name). Low sodium and tastes good. it comes in a yellow box.
