Soup stock?!
Answers: can i use readymade soup packet in a very diluted form as veg stock. i want to add more veggies to it, and not add salt to compensate for the high sodium level. what say?
go for it, maybe dilute it with 50% more water.
I live in spain and I can't get a lot of things I am used to here so am always thinking outside the box too.
Instead of packet soup, use a vegetable stock cube. If you're not vegetarian you could use a chicken stock cube.

well the best and healthy way to do it is to make your own fresh stock!
otherwise if you use those packed ones they are loaded with crap stuff like ajino moto and other preservatives which are no good,
here is the recipe how to do it:
3 med. carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 med. onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 med. potato, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
12 c. water
Pepper to taste
Herbs to taste
Combine all ingredients in large soup pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 1 hour). Remove from heat. Cool and strain. Use liquid as base for vegetable soup or for recipes calling for broth or stock.
thats it its quite easy and tasty :P
Sure, I think it would be fine. Good thoughts about holding back on salt.
Save up your veggie roots, ends, and stems, toss in freezer, and when you have enough, add an onion and carrot to it and make your own stock. It freezes well.
