Have you considered making your own broths, it can be very easy. ( lots of onions, garlic & carrots, bay leaf) Making beans from dry beans can also be fairly simple. If you cook up a big batch, you can freeze them in meal size portions. When I went low sodium, that is what I did, however, in my case, I found out I was not salt sensitive, so I quit. But good luck.
Yes, I have considered making my own broths/stocks. BUT, since I cook from the seat of my pants I think it might be a hassle to defrost frozen broths when I need them in a hurry...

Same with beans from dried sources...
I find frozen broth will melt quickly if I put it in a pan. Only a few minutes, to boil. But of course a carton will be slightly quicker
We can find low sodium/no sodium foods at Trader Joe’s and Smart & Final for reasonable prices. Amazon has lots of unsalted nuts.
I’ve become accustomed to eating a lower sodium bread (Ezekiel bread) which contains 75/80 mg of sodium per slice. I like the flax seed, original and sesame seed versions.
When looking for low or no-sodium foods, it's important to focus on whole, fresh, and minimally processed options. Here are some food sources that are naturally low in sodium:
1) Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Almost all fruits and vegetables are naturally low in sodium. Incorporate a variety of colors
and types into your diet.
2) Whole Grains: Choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and barley, which are naturally low in sodium.
3) Lean Proteins: Opt for lean protein sources such as skinless poultry, lean cuts of beef or pork, fish, eggs, and tofu. Fresh
or frozen options are generally lower in sodium than processed or cured meats.
4) Dairy and Dairy Alternatives: Plain, unsalted dairy products and dairy alternatives like unsweetened almond milk or soy
milk are lower in sodium.
5) Nuts and Seeds: Unsalted nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds, are good sources of
healthy fats and protein.
6) Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are rich in protein and fiber and are naturally low in sodium.
7) Herbs and Spices: Fresh and dried herbs, as well as spices like garlic, onion, turmeric, and cumin, can add flavor to your
dishes without the need for salt.
8) Oils and Fats: Healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil, are naturally low in sodium.
