Broth is in the base of all delicious soups and stews. Usually all types of broths are prepared from the bones of a particular animal, to which are added vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, garlic, mushrooms, as well as red and green peppers.
In addition to making hot and fragrant chicken soup or chicken stew, broth is also suitable for direct consumption, especially in the cold winter days.
In the store, the small broth cubes or granules on offer are saturated with chemicals, artificial flavors and salt.
Wondering why you should choose homemade broth over the ones in store?
Of course, homemade chicken broth will take longer to prepare, but you can add fresh vegetables, spices and herbs to your taste preferences and those of your family.
Homemade chicken broth is rich in various minerals: calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. You can also prepare a larger amount and store the rest in the refrigerator (for no more than 1 week).
