less than chicken does. Something about the FDA regulations. In many places that call for beef you can substitute chicken with no problem.

The obvious best way is to make your own - but that takes for ever and is often impractical.

Also, if you plan to use bouillon, use betterthanbouillon. I always keep a couple of jars in the fridge.

I have the chicken betterthanbouillion, and honestly, I don't like it. I like the taste but I find it doesn't dissolve all the way. - kelly Apr 6, 10:09 4

    - yep - the basic veggie stock only had parsley sprigs, peppercorns, bay leaf and very little salt -- nm - JenBro Apr 6, 10:17
