I use Major brand soup base chicken. It is a 1 pound container good for 5 gallons. Imo, it is the best. I use it daily for a 20 oz clear coffee thermos for work. All of my local grocery stores gave up on it. I cannot locate it. I called the company but they will not sell to individuals. I offers to buy several cases but was shot down. I would like very much to find this. The bar code is 7329242807. If I never have it again, what are your preferences? I just tried Better than Bullion. Tasted more like gravy and was not clear. I need clear everything for security purposes. I add some dehyd veg flakes and a rip of parsely.
