Chicken Stock vs. Chicken Broth

Which to use?

Looking at the ingredient list they are similar, yet different.

In an all white bowl, you can visibly see the difference.

The stock is clear and the broth is opaque.

Who would have thought there could be such a difference, 

and such confusion.

If making broth or stock at home there is no confusion, because stock is made with bones
and broth(can have bones) but also has vegetables.
The Free Range Chicken broth that I would previously purchase at Trader Joe's is no longer
available.  In its place they have put this white box of chicken stock.
Inquiring to the employees about my standard broth and its replacement,
which happens to live on the shelf next to the Organic Free Range Broth,
I began reading labels, and they read labels along with me.
Much to our dismay, just reading the label did not give much of
a distinguishing difference, except for the sodium levels.

So home both boxes came with me to do a side by side test.
The results are this........

The Stock is clear, has an aroma more of meat, and tastes low in salt but
full of good chicken meat taste.  This stock would be perfect for adding
to sauces, and dishes requiring chicken liquid for its completion.

The Broth is opaque, has an aroma more of vegetables, and tastes very
good on its own because of the high salt.  I would add this to any
chicken soups, or other soups requiring chicken liquid.

There you have it!

As Always,

ENJOY!
