You could get some dried porcini mushrooms to keep on hand, and use them with some onion, celery, bay, etc... to make a quickish broth - potentially while you're prepping your other ingredients. Also when you make your own chicken broth, reduce it down as much as you can before freezing it, so each ice cube really packs a punch.

This is a recipe for a very potent vegetable boullion that does not take up a lot of freezer space. I always keep it on hand, especially when cooking for my vegetarian friends. You only use a tsp. per cup of water, unless you want more flavor. Can also mix the ingredients. For example, cilantro is not my favorite so I add more parsley. <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/homemade-bouillon-recipe.html" target="_blank">http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/homemade-bouillon-recipe.html</a>

Forgot to add, regarding the vegetable boullion, is it does not freeze sold because of the salt content. Therefore no defrosting necessary and it can be kept in one container that you just take from.

When canned cream soups are called for, you can make your own veloute or bechamel. Tastes better, in any case!

I use hot water and either soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce plus a spice mix called "Janes Crazy Mixed up Salt". Its a mix of seasonings but salt, pepper, garlic, and celery seasoning would work great too.

I use better than bullion all the time! I never use canned chicken broth anymore. It is the best substitute ever!
