If you can find it, Fond du Poulet is the best I have found. If you can't
find it, Better than Bouillon is a lot better than the dry stuff.

A second on Better than Bouillon. Also Penzey's sells a good
base under its name at www.penzeys.com which seems by
ingredient match to be identical to "Orrington Farms" base which
I have found at my local Albertsons.

I use a brand called L,B, Jamisons, and I have no complaints. I get it at
Hy-Vee. I also use their beef base and ham base (which is great for bean or
split pea soups.) 1 jar is usually good for about 6 pots of soup. This is also
great for gravies, or when I'm cooking rice I add a spoonful for flavor.
