Note: The recipes in this book call for a variety of canned broths. You will see "low-sodium," "no-salt-added," or "fat-free, less-sodium," depending on the type used in testing. "Low-sodium" contains the lowest amount of sodium while "no-salt-added" is a little higher. "Fat-free, less-sodium" chicken broth contains from 390 milligrams to 570 milligrams sodium per cup compared to over 900 milligrams per cup for some brands of regular canned broth. You may substitute one type of broth for another--just realize the soup may taste more or less salty (and the sodium content will be different) if you do.
