KellyRedHead said:Could you use broth if that's all you had though??
I just got this recipe for soup from a friend and it says chicken stock, but I only have chicken broth and would rather use that first then go buy the other. Someone also told me to put a chicken boullion cube in the broth for extra flavor like the stock, does anyone know if this is true??
Thanks-

The main difference between chicken broth and chicken stock is the cooking time and ingredients used. Chicken broth is made by simmering chicken meat in water with vegetables and herbs for a shorter period of time, resulting in a lighter and more flavorful liquid. On the other hand, chicken stock is made by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs for a longer period of time, resulting in a thicker and richer liquid with more collagen and gelatin.
While they can both add flavor to dishes, chicken broth and chicken stock are not always interchangeable. Chicken broth is better for dishes that require a lighter flavor, such as soups, sauces, and gravies. Chicken stock, on the other hand, is better for dishes that require a deeper and richer flavor, such as stews, risottos, and braised dishes.
Yes, you can make chicken broth or stock at home by simmering chicken bones or meat with vegetables and herbs in water for a designated period of time. This allows you to control the ingredients and flavor of the broth or stock, and also gives you the option to make a larger batch and freeze it for future use.
Chicken broth and stock are both rich in nutrients and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, as well as collagen and gelatin, which can improve joint health, skin elasticity, and digestion. However, store-bought versions may contain added salt and preservatives, so making your own at home may be a healthier option.
Yes, you can use vegetable broth or stock as a substitute for chicken broth or stock. However, keep in mind that the flavor will be different and may not work well in certain recipes. It's always best to use the recommended type of broth or stock in a recipe for the best results.
