If you can obtain Essential Cuisine stock powder from your supermarket I would encourage you to get some. I used it in my soup business for years and have tried every type on the market and this is the closest thing to homemade I’ve come across. I still have some after selling my business so I use a teaspoon of the ham stock powder in boiling water and find that my food cravings disappear with those ten calories of intake. The slight saltiness seems to curb the desire to eat and is satisfying.
