What's the Difference? Chicken Broth vs Chicken Stock


Chicken broth.  Chicken stock.  What's the difference?  And can you use them interchangeably?

If you're making homemade versions, there's a difference - chicken stock starts with more bones, chicken broth starts with more meat.  The bones make the stock richer and possibly a darker color if the ones were roasted before using.

But, when you buy in the store, there may not be much of a difference between stock or broth.  Your best bet is to try different brands.  

When utilizing the two in recipes, choose a mild tasting broth for soup, rice, and potato dishes; opt for a richer, more assertive stock in sauces and gravies.

Mmm...tasty!
