Hi all,

Has anyone come across a low sodium soup base? All the ones I've seen are 'way loaded....

Thanks!

HerbOx makes a low sodium chicken or beef bouillion... they might make vegetable too...

you can also make your own pretty easily and keep it in the freezer... ( i will often store it in ice cube trays - then when frozen store them in a freezer bag for when i only need a bit of stock

When you make your own - you can reduce it so that it's super thick and then add it with water when you do need it
 
Sodium is not as bad as people make it out to be. Unless you have high blood pressure, or other medical conditions of the like, staying around the 3g mark per day is fine.

Drinking enough water during the day will help excrete excess sodium from the body.
 
I don't know if it is a low sodium recipe but maybe it can help

Diabetic Black Bean Soup

Ingredients:
1 15-ounce can black beans, undrained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Combine beans, onion, garlic, cumin, and tomatoes in large saucepan. Cook 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat until onion is tender. Stir occasionally, and add water as needed to prevent sticking. Remove from heat. Cool. Puree half of soup in blender or food processor until smooth, and return it to saucepan. If soup is too thick, add water to desired consistency. Reheat soup. Sprinkle with cilantro, salt, and pepper just before serving.

Makes 4 Servings.
