Chicken Stock vs. Soup base

When looking for a delicious broth, especially during the clear liquid diet portion of your pre-op diet, keep an eye out for soup base or sipping broth!

You may not realize it, but not all chicken broth is created equal! Many broths you buy at the store are intended to be added to a large pot and simmered with tons of veggies, spices, and more. Your typical broth just won't taste very good! You absolutely can use them to make a soup broth on the stove, but make sure you are straining out all those delicious bits of veggie and protein.

So, when you are on the hunt for broth you can grab and go... without letting it simmer on the stove for hours, look for either sipping broth, which is pre-seasoned and ready for you to drink, or soup base. Many patients have raved about Better than Bouillon!

Better than Bouillon is a company that makes condensed soup bases that are DELICIOUS! With a ton of different flavors you can pick one, or mix and match to build the soup you prefer! Current favorites might be a mix of roasted vegetable and roast beef! Savory and delicious, these combos can really help on those last couple days before your surgery!
