The question about hot chocolate was answered in the hot chocolate thread you posted.
The cube kind of "broth" is very high in sodium - even the low sodium kind. They usually contain MSG as well, which will almost certainly make you retain water.
Is it possible for you to make a vegetable and broth soup at home - you don't have to use homemade broth. There are plenty of canned varieties that are good. You can package the soup in portable containers to bring to work. That way, you aren't just eating empty calories with just a cup of broth but getting your veggies in as well. During the winter, I usually make at least one pot of soup per week - one of them is always a vegetable soup (I use whatever I have in the fridge, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, beans, etc.)
