Homemade chicken broth is a flavorful liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and aromatic vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery in water. Often seasoned with herbs like parsley, thyme, and bay leaves, this nutrient-rich broth is a staple in many cuisines, including American, European, and Asian cooking. It serves as a base for soups, stews, and sauces or can be enjoyed on its own. Chicken broth is packed with protein, collagen, and vitamins, supporting gut health and immune function. Its high hydration value makes it comforting and nourishing, particularly during cold weather or illness. However, homemade versions are typically lower in sodium than store-bought options, providing a heart-healthier choice. Avoid adding excessive salt or fatty cuts of chicken to enhance its nutritional profile. Simple, wholesome, and versatile, homemade chicken broth is an essential addition to a balanced diet.
