Charlsye Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 So, I'd love to make ClothesMakeTheGirl's Chocolate Chili and it seems to be a Whole30 favorite. However, I've tried to find compliant beef broth and tomato paste and haven't had much luck. Does anyone know of any compliant brands that would be good for this? Thanks for your help!

Guest Andria Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Compliant tomato paste should not be too difficult to find. I have found Whole Foods 365 brand, Muir Glenn and Trader Joe's brands are all compliant. Just be sure to double check those labels as ingredients can change by region, apparently. Compliant beef broth is admittedly harder to find. It usually contains some form of sugar or caramel coloring. I just make a huge batch of my own and freeze . Homemade is soo much better, anyway. In a pinch, though, I will use store bought chicken broth(easier to find a compliant one) in place of beef broth if I do not have any made.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2015 You can substitute water for beef broth when making chili. Personally, I don't add water or broth, but use a large can of diced tomatoes to provide liquid and I cook in a pressure cooker, which requires less liquid.

Charlsye Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for your replies! I'll see if I can sub for the beef broth and I'll look for those brands of tomato paste. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My local store brand tomato paste is JUST tomato paste and is less expensive than national brands--worth a look at your store brands too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiedoll Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've been pondering this, especially since discovering that the beef broth I got on my excursion to a Whole Foods two hours away is not actually compliant (could caramel coloring please be added to the list of sneaky sugars? It didn't occur to me organic coloring could be sugar.) The only stock I have is from the turkey I made after Christmas, which was not compliant. (Who adds sugar to a frozen turkey?! Ugh. But I used flour on the inside of the oven bag when I was making the turkey anyway, so that would have been out even if the turkey had originally been compliant.) Has anybody tried adding unflavored gelatin to the chili? It wouldn't do much for flavor, but it might replicate some of the broth mouthfeel.

alissaks Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I buy organic tomato paste and organic diced tomatoes at Costco, by the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I made the chocolate chilli tonight & just subbed the broth for water & went heavier on the spices and it turned out fine - great in fact!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldylightfoot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Would love tips on compliant chicken broth! I had more luck with the beef broth than chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I couldn't find compliant beef or chicken broth but I was able to find compliant vegetable broth (make sure you double check though!). It works just fine and it will take on the flavors of any meat you use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9er Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I usually have my own chicken or duck broth on hand but pacific organic makes a mushroom broth that is compliant - at least the stuff I bought was - and is great if the recipe calls for beef broth, has that rich umami flavor. I like to drink my bone broth so sometimes I need the carton for cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammywinberry Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does anybody have any brand names they can recommend? I thought my broth was compliant. And I found store brand diced tomato's and tomato paste that had 3g of sugar but the organic brand had about 3g's more. Any brand recommendations there?

And I found store brand diced tomato's and tomato paste that had 3g of sugar but the organic brand had about 3g's more. Any brand recommendations there? We hesitate to recommend brands, because manufacturers can change their recipes without warning, making what was compliant, not -- so always read your labels. Be sure when you look at the label you're looking at the actual ingredient list, not the nutritional information. Many things, including tomatoes, have naturally occurring sugars, and so there will be sugars on the nutritional information. However, if there is no added sugar in the ingredient list, they are okay. As I said above, always read your labels, but I know I have found some Pacific brand broths that are compliant -- there are also some that are not compliant, you'll just have to look, but maybe that brand is a place to start, if it's available where you are.

Munkers Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 When a recipe calls for broth or stock, most of the time you can make a substitution. Instead of beef broth you can use chicken or veggie stock. Depending on the store, I've sometimes had better luck finding compliant veggie stock as opposed to chicken or beef.

Rfisher261 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 For compliant chicken broth, I found Pacific Organic Chicken Bone Broth is compliant. The regular organic chicken broth from Pacific has added cane sugar, so a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanutbutteryum Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 US Wellness Meats has their own beef bone broth that I'm pretty sure is Whole 30 compliant. Ingredients used: Center cut marrow bones, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, sprigs of fresh thyme, dried green peppercorns crushed, and parsley. A 5lb pail is about $50. They also have chicken and duck stock. Ingredients for the chicken stock: chicken stock (spring water, chicken bones, organic onion, organic carrot, organic celery, organic parsley, organic thyme, organic black malabar peppercorn, organic bay leaf), sherry vinegar. Is sherry vinegar compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
