Try these tips to taste the delicious difference Swanson makes in nearly everything you cook.
- You’ll be amazed at how versatile Swanson broth is and how easy it is to use! The broth’s well-seasoned taste is perfect for soups or for simmering vegetables, rice, pasta and potatoes (use any remaining cooking liquid in a batch of soup for extraordinary flavor!). Swanson broth is also a terrific way to add a little moisture and flavor to leftovers when reheating.
- Curious about how to incorporate Swanson stock in your cooking? The rich, robust, meaty flavor of stock is ideal for meat dishes, gravies and sauces. For a new twist on a classic French dip sandwich, warm sliced roast chicken or turkey from the deli or thinly sliced leftover roast pork in Swanson chicken or beef stock with a sprig or two of fresh thyme (or a pinch of dried leaves) and a splash of dry white wine. Pile the meat onto toasted hoagie rolls and serve with small cups of the warm stock on the side for dipping!
- To keep meats moist and tender and add a layer of flavor, baste them during roasting with Swanson stock. Or, after sautéing meats in a skillet, add a little stock to loosen the browned bits clinging to the bottom of the pan (this is called “deglazing”) and use this as the base for a simple sauce.
- Brush meats and poultry on the grill with Swanson broth or stock to add a layer of flavor and help keep the meat moist and juicy during cooking.
- Poach chicken breasts or fish fillets in Swanson chicken stock or broth for a dish that’s low in calories but full of flavor. Simply simmer stock or broth in a skillet with a touch of white wine, lemon juice and your favorite herbs (rosemary is perfect with chicken; fish and dill are perfect together).

- Have some leftover stock or broth? Freeze it in an ice cube tray. Then, if a gravy needs thinning or you need just a bit of broth to add moisture to leftovers or smooth out mashed potatoes, just add a cube or two of stock or broth!
