One of the products that I use almost every day while cooking is the 'Better than Bouillon' Bases and to be more specific, I use the 'Organic - Reduced Sodium' ones. The broth comes as a paste in jars. I use either the beef or chicken base to add flavor to many sauces and soups. It adds great flavor to the foods, is easy to use and dose, doesn't take up much space, doesn't go bad fast (like fresh broth or canned or boxed broth) and best of all it has a reduced amount of sodium and it is organic. The sodium content is 15% of the recommended daily value per teaspoon. And typically I add about a tablespoon per dish for 4 people and then skip adding salt altogether. The chicken produces a clear yellow broth while the beef is more brown and has some small (meat?) particles in it, which my kids frown upon a bit if it is in a clear broth. But again the flavor of the broth is very good! I usually buy a 16 oz jar at my warehouse store.
I could not find a picture of the kind I buy online, not even on the company's website. But below are some products of the same brand, however they are either not organic or do not have a reduced sodium content. And the ones with the reduced sodium content, have only a 25% reduction compared to the regular one, while the organic reduced sodium version has a 50% reduction.
