I bought some and added a bit to my broth when I made onion soup. It gave it a nice richness. I never would have thought to buy it. Thanks!

I’ve been reluctant to try any of the BtBs because the second ingredient is usually sugar. Are there any other recommended soup/stock bases that don’t have sugar? I found a nice Japanese-style ramen base that I like, would love to hear of others in the Western style.
1 tsp is 10 calories - you can’t use too much of it given the sodium content anyway, so the sugar content seems less of a concern.

And how much would you need to flavor, say, a quart/liter of soup?
I use very little myself - because of the sodium. Just as an enhancer. Maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp. Others may use more, ymmv.

I use 2–3 tsp of the paste for 1L of plain water.

I’ll check the assorted Penzey’s bases I have in the fridge tomorrow, and will report back.
