Chicken broth is a flavorful liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables in water. This process extracts nutrients, collagen, and minerals, resulting in a rich and savory base for soups, stews, and sauces. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a cooking liquid for grains and legumes. Often considered a comfort food, chicken broth is known for its potential health benefits, especially when consumed during illness. It is low in calories and can be a source of hydration. Many people also use homemade or store-bought versions for convenience in their cooking.
