Yum and what is broth

Yum and what is broth

"Broth" is water that something was cooked in. So, for example, after you boil beef (usually with onions, celery and spices) the cooking water is called "beef broth". The water from cooking chicken is "chicken broth".  I think it may also be called "consumme" but I might be wrong about that. Broth, however, is NOT the same as "bullion". Bullion is an artificially flavored yeast extract that many people use instead of broth because it's cheaper and easier than broth (clearly, I'm a bit of a culinary snob  :) ).

Thank you, we call it stock :o

Consumme is clarified broth....so you heat the broth then add a egg white raft which is supposed to pull out the solids and leave you with an almost clear liquid but full of flavour.
