Are either of these allowed? The low sodium canned just seems to have too much sodium and I just searched and read we can't use herbox? What kind of beef broth do you all use for your French onion soup?
Thanks!

I make my own broths!

When cooking my meats, I season up the meats heavily and float them in water, cover with aluminum foil, and slow cook for about 2-hours on 325 (half way in between I turn the meat). The result is very tender meats and my own broths without any chemical additives and/or salt overload.

What it really comes down to is ingredients. If the ingredients list doesn't contain anything off-protocol then you are fine, watch for any type of sugar or starch (or stupid crazy chemicals). There are some brands out there that are acceptable, you just have to read the ingredients. Look in the healthy/organic sections, or Whole Foods/Trader Joes (if you have them). I don't use much beef broth but I think one brand of chicken broth that I use is Imagine. And, I was surprised to find last weekend, regular old Swanson's has a chicken STOCK with only 190mg/sodium in a cup (and it's not even labeled low sodium!), and no sugars or starches! It's actually GOOD too! I imagine they sell beef too might want to look for it.

Or, like Nix said, make your own.
