How people cook with it
Chicken broth is a versatile pantry staple. It can be used to add depth of flavor to a wide range of recipes.
- Base for soups

Open the container and pour the broth into your cooking pot. It can be heated on the stovetop or used directly in recipes. For soups, add vegetables, noodles, or other ingredients and simmer until cooked through.

It can also be used to deglaze pans, capturing flavorful bits left after searing meat. For a simple side dish, cook rice or grains in broth instead of water.
