Most people think broth and stock are the same, but they are made differently. They can have the same uses, but it's interesting to learn the difference in how they are made. Stock is made from bones, while broth is made mostly from meat and vegetables. Using bones in stock creates a thicker liquid and it takes much longer to make. Broth is a thinner liquid and the outcome is much lighter in color and more flavorful.

Storing homemade chicken broth is different than storebought pantry broth. Be sure to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve its freshness because it doesn't have any added preservatives that store-bought chicken broth requires. Follow my instructions below for storing and freezing your homemade broth.
