In the U.S., you can find organic vegetable soup cubes, and in the bulk department of your local health food store you can usually find vegetable soup broth powder, dried vegetables or dried vegetable flakes. At Lake Chapala, Mexico, it is sometimes difficult to find vegetable broth powder (or cubes) without MSG. (You can drive into Guadalajara and go to the Palacio de Hierro store, located to the side of the department store in the mall Plaza Andares, but they are a bit expensive.) So I usually bring with me a bag of dried vegetables from North Bay Trading Co. http://www.northbaytrading.com/ and make my own vegetable soup broth powder. While you’re on their website, check out their soup mixes: 32 Bean + 8 Vegetable, Spicy Southwestern, Minnesota Grown Wild Rice Soup, Organic section, and many other products. They are a high quality, family-run business -- nice people.)
