Besides, I have very limited freezer space, and can never store enough stock for my tastes. I don't really like the boxes of stock and broth that are available, either.

This is a challenge for me as well. When I do not have stock on hand and have to improvise I can never find a stock that I really "love" and if I do not love it I do not want to use it. I have had some good luck with Pacific brand organic boxed stock that I then enrich with onions, carrots, celery. Never found a base that I really like.
