Minor's Chicken Base - 16 oz. (makes 5 gallons)
A delicious base for soups and sauces! Most store-bought stocks and bouillons are way too salty. Minor's has rich flavor that doesn't use too much salt.

I tell people to stay away from MSG and nutrasweet because of the harm that it does the nervous system. Earlier this week, a patient told me that she found a soup stock that didn't have any msg in it. I asked her to bring it in this is what is included in the ingredients: Hydrolyzed (corn and wheat gluten, soy) Proteins, and Yeast Extract.
Sure they don't put Monosodium Glutamate in their concoction, but hydrolyzed proteins and yeast extracts contain high levels of free glutamates. This is the same stuff that can cause headaches, muscle contractions, chest pain, mood swings, and insomnia in many people. The Truth in Labeling people have been arguing about this for years. If you look at the picture, there is a asterisk next to "No Added MSG*". In the fine print they say: "*Other than that which naturally occurs in the hydrolyzed proteins and yeast extract". The truth is they put this crap in there to increase the glutamate content.
So while I recommend that we all eliminate our intake of MSG, those of you that are already doing so, don't get duped by the labeling.

I first found Minor's bases at BJ's and quickly decided to chuck buying canned chicken broth and beef broth and boullion cubes. It's cheaper than canned, too, if you can find a local source. In using these to make recipes, I add the appropriate amount of base for the amount of water or liquid called for and do not add any salt called for by the recipe until the very end, when it can be added to taste. I note the amount of salt added and record it for future use. This is especially applicable in recipes calling for boullion cubes (horribly salty usually).
Of late, in talking with restaurant owners, I learned Minor bases are what many restaurants use. The base keeps in the refrigerator seemingly forever. Search the internet for sources or, better yet, ask your local restaurants if they use it and where they get their supplies locally.
I also use them in cooking rice, not adding salt, as does another reviewer.

Very, very nice flavor. I add it when cooking rice instead of adding salt. Very good with beef dishes. It adds a complexity to pot-roast [1/2 bottle of bad red wine added to the pot helps] and beef gravies. Add to gravy made with beef base and demi-glace for something really good to pour over a steak.
As for service: 1 hour after placing my order there was a knock on the door and here was my soupbase, hand delivered -- though they _are_, I found out, just around the corner. That's hard to beat.

I love this chicken base, it's delicious! I use it to make soups (quick and easily) but also use it to give extra flavor in steaming veggies, or I rub it on a whole chicken or turkey before baking...YUM!
