Many store-bought broths including bone broths and stocks add natural chicken flavor and other ingredients to make them more flavorful. We found that the most common ingredients in packaged low-sodium chicken broth included the following:.
I researched, bought, and tasted all the broths and stocks at home on my own. I heated each broth to a simmer, poured it into a clear drinking glass, and tasted it at various temperatures as it cooled. After I tasted each one, I packaged the broths in pint-size deli containers and took them to Wirecutter editor Winnie Yang, who blind-tasted the broths on her own at her home. We also tasted for any off-flavors or overwhelming flavors other than chicken.
After culling the contenders we liked the least, I made a simple soup with each of the finalists that consisted of homemade egg noodles, napa cabbage, lemon, salt, and pepper, and I tasted the soups on my own.
