Anyone know where to get this stuff, and similar soup bases, in consumer quantities? I've looked into some of these in the past, and they seem to be available mainly in institutional quantities, and also, only to buyers who do business regularly with the suppliers. Thu Jan 03 16:36:48 -0800 2002 0 Howard 1 1553740 I buy them in institutional sizes, re-portion them out in small, zip-lock bags, and freeze them with contents and dates printed on the bags.
