Swanson Chicken Broth

Swanson® Chicken Broth is the familiar canned broth you’ll find lined up on the soup and canned goods aisle, shelved near other stocks, gravies, bouillons and ready-to-use bases. In grocery flow it sits between comfort-cooking essentials and quick dinner helpers — alongside boxed stocks, canned soups, and instant rice mixes. This 14.5 oz recyclable can is pitched at home cooks who want a reliable pantry staple: weeknight soup makers, holiday cooks dressing a turkey, and anyone replacing water with a flavor boost when making rice, pasta or vegetables. The brand leans on legacy and trust — Swanson evokes traditional home cooking, family meals and convenience for busy households, marketed to pragmatic shoppers who value recognizable names and consistent results. The label wears several health halos: “100% natural,” “non-GMO,” “no MSG added*,” “no artificial flavors or colors,” and “no preservatives,” with a small note about naturally occurring glutamates in yeast extract. There’s no organic certification. Processing-wise, this is a shelf-stable canned broth: made from chicken stock with added salt, natural flavoring and yeast extract to standardize taste. Sensory cues are simple and approachable — a clear savory liquid, low viscosity, subtle chicken aroma, and a clean broth mouthfeel; the can is opened and poured or warmed in a pot as part of a cooking ritual. People reach for it when building a soup base, deglazing a pan, or adding moisture and umami to side dishes. In American grocery culture Swanson stands as a pragmatic, comforting fallback: not artisanal, but dependable and memory-laden, evoking simmering pots and weeknight family dinners.
