Generally, you should mix ½ teaspoon of chicken base with 8 ounces of water to create a chicken broth or stock substitute.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Standard Ratio: The most common recommendation is ½ teaspoon of chicken soup base per 8 ounces (1 cup) of water. This ratio provides a balanced flavor.
-
Larger Quantities: If you're making a larger batch, use this ratio:
- 1 pound of chicken base will make approximately 5 ½ gallons of soup stock or broth. That's equivalent to about twenty-two 32-oz boxes of broth.
-
Adjusting to Taste: You can always adjust the amount of water to suit your preferences.
- Stronger Flavor: Use less water for a more intense chicken flavor.
- Milder Flavor: Use more water for a lighter, more subtle flavor.
-
Mixing: Ensure the chicken soup base is fully dissolved in the water for a smooth and consistent broth. Warming the water slightly can help with this.
