For lower sodium chicken base:  Using any Watkins soup and gravy base lowers the sodium content in any recipe.  They are handy to create delicious stocks, gravies and sauces with ease.  Real beef, chicken, cheese, mushrooms, onion and other wholesome ingredients give a great homemade flavor without expensive canned soups and overly-salty boullion cubes.  Use for a quick cup of soup, flavorful entrees, stir-frys, and side dishes by adding Watkins items in your pantry.
