Chicken Broth
by
Philipp Inreiter
This recipe uses chicken carcasses and feet to draw out flavor and collagen for a rich broth. The vegetables add an additional layer of flavor, making this a great base for soups or stews.
Chicken is eaten in many cultures through the world. So, naturally, broths are found in these cultures as well. Although the ingredients may vary, the base is always chicken bones, with the cartilage and sometimes scraps. These broths are often used in soups, stews, or cooked down as the base for sauces.
