About Broths
Broth is made by simmering bones, meat, or vegetables in water with onion, carrot, celery, and herbs. It cooks slowly and gently until the liquid is full of flavor. Then you strain it and use it right away or store it.
Broths are thinner and clearer than any other soup in this section. They are often used as a base for chicken soups, stews, risotto, and sauces. They can also be sipped warm from a mug.
Questions folks ask
What is the difference between broth and stock?
Many cooks use the words the same way. Stock is often made with more bones and has a fuller body, while broth is lighter.
How long does homemade broth keep?
In the fridge it keeps about three to four days. In the freezer it keeps for a few months.
Why is my broth cloudy?
Boiling hard can make it cloudy. Simmer gently and skim the top.
Kitchen tips
- Start with cold water and bring it up slowly.
- Keep it at a gentle simmer, not a hard boil.
- Skim the foam off the top for a clearer broth.
- Go easy on salt so you can season the dish later.
- Freeze broth in small containers or ice cube trays.
