Why haven't I been drinking glasses of beef broth my whole life?

Hmmm, haven't tried that. It DOES sound like it could be good. Any kind you recommend?0
-
I just got the Wyler's beef bullion cubes because it was what was available in the commissary. No calories.0
-
I drink chicken broth from time to time if I'm feeling neglected. Did you add HWC to it by any chance? Heavenly! And a great little snack.0
-
i go for OXO cubes with some butter melted in!:drinker:0
-
Both the HWC and butter sound like great ideas!
Looks like tomorrow I have a different drink for dinner.0 -
I love broth - especially home made bone broth. It's filled with magic and has far less sodium than the cubes. All that marrow and cartilage stuff helps us rebuild our bodies. Yay!!0

I read that on keto we need higher sodium:

Of course. Just for me, I don't need THAT much more
Otherwise the bags under my eyes need bras My tissues tend to hold on to water weight, so I'm a bit more sodium sensitive than likely you are.

Absolutely love drinking it straight up.
Lately I've been loving mushroom soups. I melt 30g butter into a small pot, add 100g mushrooms, sautee for a while to get the flavors going, then add my broth. I sometimes add heavy cream to it to make it richer and get even more fat in. Such a rich soup with such little effort!
I wish I had homemade bone broth for the wonderful health properties, but I'm just now stocking up on bones. Gonna make a good batch soon.0 -

I keep both beef and chicken bouillon (Wylers) cubes in my desk drawer at work. It's a great afternoon pick me up. Hadn't thought about adding butter or HWC to it, but that would make it even more delightful! And the mushroom soup idea from another poster sounds like a winner as well...may whip that up tonite.0 -
I like making egg drop soup. Bring chicken broth to boil, add butter and sometimes a handful of baby spinach, scramble an egg and slowly drizzle it into the soup, cooks up quick. Makes a quick easy meal. Love the idea of the mushroom soup! Definitely need to try that one, thanks for posting it0

All this sounds good but, what is HWC?
(Getting ready to start keto this week, and reading over the forums and lurking/learning a bit before I jump in)0 -
Pretty sure they're referring to heavy whipping cream.
I do a cup of broth, a tablespoon or 2 of cream, and a teaspoon or so of bacon grease. It might sound weird, but I love it!0 -

I need to try this, too!! Thank you!!0 -
Oh....duh that makes sense lol
I am officially starting tomorrow. These recipes sound great!!!0 -
Another good option is thinly slicing a sweet onion and sautéing that in a couple tablespoons of butter. After they are carmalized I pour in a couple cups of beef broth!0

well...crap lol
I need to do this!!! I'd do it now but no room for it....0 -
How do you all work out the macros for your home made broth? I also find raw and cooked macros for meats difficult to calculate as there is meat juice to consider as well in the weights.0

I made this for my breakfast and wow...yummy!!! I just added a little coconut oil and a little HWC to help fend off any hunger pangs till lunch. Sometimes I am tired and just don't feel like cooking...this works for me!!
Thank you for my new favorite easy recipe
EDIT : I just finished and my gosh am I stuffed. I see now why adding the fat helps with satiety >laugh>
I would never have guessed how filling this was... I like it a lot and will definitely be keeping it in my meal rotation!0
