Personal Notes:
NOTE: I really prefer the chicken base mixed with boiling water in any recipe that calls for chicken broth. It seems to have a lot more flavor than the canned broth. I rarely add a lot of salt when cooking. I like the flavor of the liquid crab boil, and that is enough "heat" for me. However, you can certainly add Tony's, salt, black and/or red pepper and Tabasco to your own taste. If you are not using butter or margarine these days, I have made this quite successfully with Smart Balance, using about 1/2 cup to sauté the vegetables.
