You can use this chicken broth directly from the carton in your cooking. It is excellent as a base for homemade soups, where it contributes a savory chicken flavor.

For gravies and sauces, it helps to create a smooth and rich consistency. It can also be used to moisten dishes during baking or roasting.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to chicken stock, broth is typically made with more meat and less bone, resulting in a lighter body and a less intense flavor. It is often seasoned, whereas stock is usually unseasoned. This makes broth a ready-to-use liquid for many applications where a milder chicken essence is desired.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on chicken broth for its flavor-building capabilities.
