LOL - I think you and I are on the same side regarding the broth issue. I assumed the post was referencing the lower sodium canned, or boxed, broth. I've used those on several occasions, when homemade just wasn't an option.

I was actually surprised it can be used as a way to diet. Never thought of that before. I just know the infamous cabbage soup one.

If I don't have any homemade stock left and need it, I use this:

Amazon.com : Progresso Chicken Broth, Unsalted, 32-Ounce (Pack of 6) : Grocery & Gourmet Food

One of my favorites is to put an OXO cube in a mug of hot water,just the thing for a winter meal accompaniment.

OXO cube in a mug...that's very English

Normally I use broth home made only to cook other things including as soup base. That is known as a stack more often.

Maybe up in "New Hampshah."

I regularly make radish soup which is a giant amount of beef broth and a few chunks of radishes.

I love it in place of tea on a cold night.

I have used broth for soup many times when I've added something to it. I have also used just broth. Usually, I add a little butter to it.

Also, when I use bullion to make soup, gravy, etc. I always a butter. It tastes more like "real". without the butter is has a flat taste.

I sip it when I've been sick, am fasting, or just want a hot liquid, but it's no way, no how a soup or a meal unless you add some pasta, vegetables, etc.

Like momtothree stated - we're talking about real cooking here, not making a soup or broth from a store-bought packet.

Yep, the home made stuff is awesome. The "New" thing is bone soup. Cracks me up. I love when the younger generation discovers stuff like this.
