What it is

How people cook with it
Chicken broth is a staple in kitchens, used to add depth and moisture to a wide range of recipes. It can be used as a cooking liquid or as a flavorful base.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Rice and grains
- Braising liquids
You can use this chicken broth directly from the carton in recipes. It is excellent for making classic chicken noodle soup or a hearty vegetable stew. It can also be used to cook rice or other grains, infusing them with a subtle chicken flavor. For richer sauces and gravies, it serves as a perfect liquid component, adding body and taste. When braising meats, it helps to keep them tender and moist, while also creating a flavorful pan sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to chicken stock, broth is typically lighter in color and flavor. Stock is made with bones and often roasted bones, resulting in a richer, more gelatinous liquid. Broth is simmered for a shorter time and may not contain as many bones, making it a more delicate base.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to enhance the flavor of their meals will find this broth useful.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, refrigerate any unused broth promptly. It should be stored in a sealed container to maintain freshness. It is best to use the leftover broth within a few days for optimal flavor. Discard if it appears cloudy or has an off odor.
