Broth is used as a basis for other edible liquids such as soup, gravy, or sauce. It can be eaten alone or with garnish. If other ingredients are used, such as rice, pearl barley or oats, it is then generally called soup.

Homemade broth is essential isn’t it? I like to blanche my chicken or other meat with boiling water for a few minutes and then rinse before putting in the stockpot. It saves a lot of skimming and makes the end product so much clearer!
ciao! i do make my broth fresh as i use it when i make risottos and soups. this is just the best. 🙂
Homemade chicken broth is the best for many dishes! Do you have a pressure cooker? I’m going to post a side by side comparison soon…
Yes, I have a pressure cooker. I sometimes use it for stew meat or pot roast. I’ll be looking forward to your comparison post!
This recipe is so clever as it will no doubt be the basis for countless other recipes. I see the wish bone on top of the chicken in the bottom picture, we dry it and then break it between two to make a wish.
Hi Maria, In Iran, we don’t make wishes with them, but we play games with them. One such games is… two people agree on a prize, and holding each of the ends, break the wishbone. Whomever has the mid-section still attached is the winner.
The recipe looks familiar.
You are smart! It was a part of another post. I recycled to make it shine by its own.
