what is the difference between broth and stock ? They seem pretty much the same to me.?

Answer 1

One is made from the meat, the other from the bones (Alton Brown!)

From Food Network:

"Chicken stock tends to be made more from bony parts, whereas chicken broth is made more out of meat. Chicken stock tends to have a fuller mouth feel and richer flavor, due to the gelatin released by long-simmering bones. "

Answer 2

a stock is ,from vegetable/or meat bones,and is a base for soups. broth is a thickened soup

Answer 3
