Frequently Asked Questions
What can I make with this 48 oz carton beyond basic chicken soup?
You can use it as a flavor-boosting liquid for rice, pasta, and grains, as a moistening base for stuffing and mashed potatoes, for deglazing pans, and for braising or roasting meats in the oven.
Is the 48 oz carton a good value for a family kitchen?
Yes. The larger carton delivers a lower per-ounce cost than smaller cans or single-serve boxes, making it an economical choice for families and frequent home cooks who go through broth regularly.
Does the carton fit easily in a standard refrigerator door shelf?
The 48 oz carton is designed to fit comfortably in most refrigerator doors or on a main shelf, and the resealable spout keeps leftovers fresh for several days after opening.
Can I use this broth to cook the stuffing and mashed potatoes for a holiday meal?
Yes. It is an ideal liquid for moistening holiday stuffing and for making rich, savory mashed potatoes, and the 48 oz size is convenient for preparing large family-style holiday dishes.
How is the packaging better for the environment than cans or plastic jugs?
The fiber carton is recyclable in most curbside paper programs, and it generally has a lower environmental footprint than plastic jugs while being easier to pour and store than cans.
Is this a good stocking-stuffer or hostess gift for the holidays?
Because it is a recognizable, well-loved Swanson product, it makes a thoughtful, budget-friendly hostess gift or add-on gift for holiday hosts, paired with a wooden spoon or recipe card.
Can I replace multiple cooking liquids in my pantry with just this one carton?
Yes. One carton can serve as your soup base, grain-cooking liquid, deglazing liquid, and roasting liquid, helping you declutter your pantry and reduce the number of half-used items.
Is this broth safe to keep on hand for unexpected guests?
Definitely. With a long shelf life when unopened and the trusted Swanson name, it is a reliable staple to have ready for spontaneous dinners and last-minute entertaining.
How does this broth compare to making homemade stock from scratch?
Homemade stock offers the most control, but Swanson Natural Goodness delivers a consistent, clean-label flavor in minutes, which is a major convenience for busy households and holiday hosts.
What is the biggest hesitation home cooks have before switching to this broth?
The most common hesitation is whether a store-bought broth can taste as good as homemade, but most home cooks find that Swanson's farm-raised chicken and fresh-picked vegetable recipe delivers a flavor close enough to scratch cooking for everyday use.
How should I store this broth before and after opening?
Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, refrigerate the carton promptly in the main body of the fridge or in the door, and use it within several days, or freeze portions for longer storage.
Can I freeze this broth for later use?
Yes. Pour leftover broth into airtight freezer-safe containers, ice cube trays, or zip-top bags and freeze for up to several months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or drop frozen portions directly into hot soups and stews.
What is the best way to substitute this broth for water in recipes?
Use an equal amount of Swanson broth in place of water whenever a recipe calls for cooking grains, rice, pasta, or deglazing a pan. For soups and stews, you can use it as the full liquid base with little to no adjustment.
Is this broth compatible with low-sodium or sodium-restricted diets?
This specific Natural Goodness variety is seasoned for everyday cooking, so if you are on a strict low-sodium diet, look for a Swanson lower-sodium version instead, and always review the nutrition panel for the most accurate information.
Does this carton work with standard broth storage accessories and dispensers?
Yes. The 48 oz carton fits most refrigerator doors, and the pour spout is compatible with standard reusable broth lids and silicone freezer tray lids for easy storage and freezing.
What is included when I order this product?
You will receive one 48 oz fiber carton of Swanson Natural Goodness Chicken Broth. Nothing else is required to begin using it, though you may want a funnel and freezer-safe containers if you plan to portion and freeze leftovers.
Is this product safe for people with common food allergies?
The recipe is gluten-free and free from artificial colors and flavors, but it is manufactured in a facility that may handle other allergens, so always read the current ingredient statement on the carton if you have severe allergies.
How long is the broth good for after the sell-by date?
For best quality, use the broth by the date printed on the carton. If it has been continuously refrigerated and unopened, it is usually safe for a short period past that date, but you should discard any broth that smells off or appears cloudy.
What is the difference between chicken broth, chicken stock, and chicken bouillon?
Chicken broth is typically a light, seasoned liquid made by simmering chicken with vegetables and aromatics, while stock is usually richer and made more from bones. Bouillon is a dehydrated concentrate or cube that you rehydrate with water. Swanson Natural Goodness is a ready-to-pour broth, which is more convenient than bouillon and more consistent than homemade stock.
