And so I was moving on to peruse mushroom soup recipes when I was distracted by the recent issue of Real Simple magazine. On page 210 they are road testing broth and guess who won the beef broth prize.......Trader Joe's Organic Beef Broth. The quote from Real Simple says, "In a category full of bitter, salty, or artificially caramel-colored duds, this winner balanced genuine beef flavor with a smooth aftertaste." (While I find the word 'aftertaste' to be an odd choice of words, even if modified by the adjective 'smooth,' I do find this a promising review.)
And so, while I realize that this post is sort of off topic and while I realize that I have just revealed that I do not know the difference between broth and stock (or if there is one) I am wondering if anybody knows if they have a version of this stuff at Aldi.
I just want to make some soup this week.

I have bought both stock and broth at Aldi's. I think you would need to make your own comparisons with other brands. They all taste salty to me but I never tried the high end ones at Fresh Market.
I know you said it was too much work to make your own but I wonder if this would fill the bill.

Hey, a question to other cooks out there: Would roasting the veggies and bones improve the taste of the stock? It's only 1 extra step. I make chicken stock and I found if I roast the chicken pieces with uncut carrots, 1/2 onion pieces and celery after I make the stock the veggies are still edible, not all cooked out and it saves time.
