Chicken broth is a flavorful liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and aromatic vegetables such as onion, celery, and carrots in water. Often seasoned with herbs and spices, chicken broth is a staple in many cuisines, including American, European, and Asian cooking. Its origins date back centuries as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. Nutritionally, chicken broth is low in calories and provides essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, depending on the ingredients used. It may also contain small amounts of protein. Broth is often prized for its hydrating and soothing qualities, especially during illness. However, store-bought versions can be high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Homemade options allow for greater control of ingredients, making it easy to optimize both flavor and nutrition.
