For me, there's a world of difference between bone-broth and hot bouillon... one is a meal, one is a quick hot drink. Emphasis on quick.
Awesome! I searched until the cows came home and couldn't find this - MSG free bouillon. I LIKE that it contains salt. Going to try it.

Bones from young beeves finished on grass are the best. Aolderspring Ranch has them sometimes. Shipping is expensive though, depending on where you live.

I have a bit of an intolerance to meat broths. For a while, they actually gave me bathroom issues. No problem with meat fried or roasted. I'm guessing some amine or other is altered at the higher cooking temperature, rendering it more tolerable. I discovered accidentally that if cooked with tomato, I had no trouble with soup, guessed maybe it was the acidity, tried it with vinegar, and that was okay, too.

First noticed after we had a pig roast. I had the bones from a whole pig to make soup. Ate massive amounts of soup the day after the roast--and bloated up like the blueberry boy in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I made my own chicken broth to add to the stuffing and the gravy makings. The broth in those cans just smells and tastes so bad and artificial.

Kirkland (Costco house brand) organic chicken stock has no sugar OR sugar substitute. They just leave it out, like you would at home. The ingredients don't list MSG or yeast extract, but it does have "natural flavoring" which could be the same thing. ZERO carbs. Comes in a case of six 1-quart cartons.

sorry, but...

Natural Flavors - Besides yeast extract, a common name for MSG is "natural flavors." Variations are natural flavor, natural flavorings, natural beef flavor, natural chicken flavor, malt flavoring, chicken flavoring, seasoning, spices, enzymes and simply "flavoring." Be wary of these on ingredient labels if you suspect your headaches or burning sensations in your neck or arms come from your food.

I'm not sure everyone needs to be scared of MSG. On my personal list of "stuff to avoid", it's pretty much at the bottom.

It makes stuff palatable. Palatability is pretty crucial, IMO, to successfully sticking to one's diet plan.

Hot take: I'm not at all crazy about drinking straight-up homemade bone broth. It's amazing for cooking, and it's a lot better now that I make it in the pressure cooker, but I won't drink it straight without half a bouillon cube in it, MSG be damned.

Anyone else remember when "bouillon" still meant a clear broth, made (at home) from meat & bones (ie, "bone broth"), usually served as a starter soup before a several course banquet? Or is that just me, and the old fashioned type books that I read? :-)

For those who are sensitive to MSG, if you are using pre roasted or leftover cooked bones, adding salt, garlic and other herbs, homemade broth can be extremely flavourful! I often throw chunks of ginger and tumeric in there as well for added benefit and flavour. I can’t imagine any commercial cube actually tasting better ...

Don't be sorry. That's exactly what I said: "The ingredients don't list MSG or yeast extract, but it does have "natural flavoring" which could be the same thing."

I mentioned it since some people had said they'd like to avoid it. Although I'm sure that others, like me, have no problem with it in small amounts and would much prefer something with MSG over some kind of sweetener. (For the record, I'm not against artificial sweeteners either; I just don't like sweeteners in savory food).

Nope, me, too. Bouillon=stock=bone broth in my book. Though technically you can make bouillon/stock without bones and I've done it in a pinch, but it's not very economical or nearly as flavorful.
