Swanson Broth, Unsalted Chicken
What You Should Know
Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth is a grocery staple you’ll find on the soup and stock aisle, often shelved near canned broths, boxed stocks, and boxed/ready-made gravies. It sits beside both reduced-sodium and flavored varieties, and close to bouillon cubes and cooking wines. Shoppers reach for it on weeknight grocery trips, during holiday meal prep, or when storm forecasts prompt pantry topping-up: it’s a go-to for anyone wanting an easy flavor base. The brand positions itself as a reliable, heritage pantry helper — familiar to multi-generational households, budget-conscious cooks, and home cooks who want a “from-scratch” flavor shortcut. Labeling leans on wholesome cues: “unsalted,” “made without added MSG,” “gluten free,” and “non-GMO ingredients” create a clean, health-oriented halo without organic certification. The packaging is a 32-ounce carton or shelf-stable carton-pak that pours, with a light broth color and thin, smooth mouthfeel when heated; aroma is savory and chicken-forward with faint vegetal sweetness from concentrated juices. Typical use is ritualized — pouring into a simmering pot for soups, deglazing pans for gravies, or replacing water when cooking rice to add depth. From a processing perspective, this is an industrially produced broth that uses concentrated juices, yeast extract, dehydrated chicken and natural flavorings to deliver consistent taste and shelf stability. Sensory and practical cues — low calories, low sodium option, and easy-pour packaging — position it as a convenient, everyday ingredient that helps home cooks elevate simple recipes without a long stock-making ritual.
