Alternatives to home made chicken / beef stock please!

[Holymoly321]

I;ve got the Anabel Karmel book and am weaning DS who is now 7 months. The veggie ones have all gone down a treat and I want to move on to meat and chicken. However, I really don't want to make chicken stock from scratch - no time or inclination. What can I use as an alternative to this type of stock?

I used to just add water or milk at that age.

There are some good organic ones but the problem is they all contain salt which I guess you'd want to avoid until lo is about 1 yr old.
All I did was make loads of that veggie stock and only made the chicken one if we actually had roast chicken for dinner and then used the leftover carcass.

thanks guys - anyone else have any suggestions?

just carry on with veg stock.

I've made some of the AK chicken recipes and i just use water and find it's still really tasty from the juices in the chicken breast/thigh that your using. Life is too short to make stock from scratch in my opinion and DD still loves it

I did the same as Coolmama and used the veggie stock which is easy to make, or just plain water.

I think you can get low salt vegetable stock cubes, by Kallo I think - I've never seen it in supermarkets though - keep meaning to check out our local health food shop but haven't got round to it yet.
