Cooking Techniques

Developed by the culinary experts at Swanson Kitchens, each method offers a new twist to an old standard cooking technique using Swanson® broth. Try one or more for your next meal and taste the difference Swanson® broth makes.

Simmering

An easy way to cook everyday foods like rice, potatoes and pasta. Simmering with water can drain some of the flavor from the food. For added flavor, try simmering with Swanson® broth instead of water.

Roasting

A wonderful way to make savory meats, especially poultry, right in your oven. Basting your meat while it is roasting is the secret to locking in moisture and flavor. Basting with Swanson® broth is even better — broth adds delicious flavor while helping to keep meat moist and tender.

Sauces

Sauces, gravies and dressings can be terrific additions to all your everyday favorite foods. Whether you want to add excitement to leftovers or bring out the flavor in your favorite dishes, Swanson® broth can help you make delicious, easy sauces, gravies and dressings without adding fat.

Homemade Soups

Soups are as versatile as Swanson® broth itself. Whatever your soup preference, Swanson® broth provides the ideal base to any soup concoction you create.

Reheating

Swanson® broth brings dry leftovers back to life in no time. Just moisten leftover meats, casseroles or side dishes with Swanson® broth before reheating. Your family won't believe it was yesterday's dinner!
