FYI my liquid diet friends

Don't confuse stock and broth. Stock is meat stock added to recipes. broth can stand on its own with rich flavor for us to sip.

What types of broth have you found? I'm thinking about that a lot. A bouillon cube in Water does not sound appealing. However, the seasoning from ramen noodles would be awesome if it didn't have so much sodium lol.

Do you think if my family has gumbo that I can eat just the liquid? Same for stew?

@@rebecca wills - I think you have it backwards. Stock is generally made from bones and cooked slowly then strained. broth is made from meat. Both can stand on their own. Here's a helpful link from food Network explaining the difference between stock and broth. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/articles/chicken-stock-vs-chicken-broth.html

I make most of my own stocks at home, but when I don't have time, I love Costco's Organic chicken Stock in a box. Not too salty and great flavor.

@@MarieLouise I think drinking the liquid from gumbo or stew may work, except you may get the runs, but good source of Protein. I'm on POD 5 and had some beef stew liquid I did pretty good sipping it except a little later I got the runs, maybe it was to rich for me.

Bone Broth has WAY more Protein. You can get some pacific bone broth and bone stock on Amazon.
