Chicken Broth

Chicken Broth is a clear, savory cooking liquid commonly used in many cuisines as the base for soups, sauces and braises; it’s made by simmering chicken, bones and aromatics and is known for its light mouthfeel and savory flavour. It is very low in energy at 15kcal per 100g, making it a useful way to add flavor without many calories. Nutritionally, chicken broth provides a small amount of protein and some minerals such as potassium and selenium while being low in fat; however commercial versions can contain notable sodium, so choosing low-sodium options or making it at home helps control salt. From a health perspective, chicken broth supplies easily digested, high-quality amino acids and contributes to feelings of fullness when used as a base for meals, but it is not a source of fiber or plant-based antioxidant compounds on its own.
