Chicken stock or broth is used as a basis in many recipes such as soups, sauces, and vegetables dishes Chicken stock, called chicken fond in French, is made from the carcass and bones. Due to the release of gelatin from the long-simmering bones, chicken stock will have a richer flavour. The bones are usually roasted first and whilst this is not essential, it does make for a richer, more deeply coloured stock. Never add salt to chicken stock as it might be too concentrated after the long simmering and you want a neutral liquid as a basis for your other recipes. Chicken brothChicken broth, also known as bouillon, is made with a whole chicken or with the meat. There is no roasting needed so the broth will stay clear and can be eaten on its own as a soup. Broth usually has a shorter simmering time then stock. NutritionWhen it comes to health, stock and broth each have their pros and cons. Broth contains about half the calories of stock, and broth contains slightly less carbohydrate, fat and protein than stock, though it’s also significantly lower in vitamins and minerals. Still buying stock or broth?Store bought broth or stock is a great time saver but it won’t give you the full ‘stock experience’. However, you can enhance these often flavourless products, by adding carrots, onions, leeks, celery, fennel, parsley, bay leaves, black peppercorns, or garlic and simmer for a while.
