Where can I buy chicken broth?

I can’t find it anywhere

I don’t know but it’s very easy to make. Next time you roast a chicken, after taking off the meat you are having for that meal, put the carcass in a pan, cover with water, add onions, carrots, potato, salt n pepper, mixed herbs. Simmer until all the meat falls off the bones. Strain and remove bones. Put veg back in and use a blender.

It's just chicken stock. I assume you've got an American recipe to follow.

You can buy bags of liquid stock in the gravy section of the supermarket, if you don't want to make it yourself.

Knorr sell it in cubes

No broth is different to stock.

Ocado have both chicken and beef bone broth in the freezer section

Broth is different to stock. To make broth you have to simmer for 48hours! It's so the bone marrow dissolves into the cooking liquid.

I think stock can be made in much less time.

I haven't seen bone broth for sale as an instant item but you can readily buy stock in tins or cartons.

Farmers market. They used to sell bone broth in Pet (certain Shoreditch branches) It's great for fertility!

Pret**

So when American recipes say broth, all those people go and simmer a carcass for 48hrs?? Or can you buy ready made versions over there?

Incidentally, the word 'broth' sounds about 100 times nicer than stock. Ditto juice box, heavy cream, popsicle. They did get fish sticks wrong though.

I'm sorry but making broth or stock isn't easy

Frosting also sounds better than icing.

You can buy it ready made in cartons in the supermarket, but it's just stock, nothing fancy about it

Making stock is very easy. When I hear brother I think soup like ham broth.

Broth and stock are not the same. Especially home-made broth will go thick, i.e. gelatinous once it cools down due to the gelatine released by long-simmering bones. Chicken broth won’t need quite as long as beef bone broth but should simmer at least 8-10 hours. My local butchers will sell feet and chicken carcasses for a pound a kilo. I tend to roast the bones for a little bit and then chuck it in a slow cooker with just a bit of salt and pepper.

And obviously water!

Jewish deli

You can buy ready-made chicken broth from Ocado or Planet Organic (and Waitrose, I think). Some butchers will also sell it.

48 hours … that is a stock. Alternatively do it in a pressure cooker. Takes about an hour.

I make chicken broth every week. The key to getting the gelatinous consistency is chicken feet. I buy them from the butchers with carcasses. Boil the feet for 15 mins then Blanch them and remove the skin. Roast the bones for 30 mins. Put in a pot and cover with water. I add 2 celery sticks, a carrot, 2 onions with cloves studded in them. Bring to the boil, simmer for 8 hours until the bones are soft. Strain and cool. Refrigerate over night and it will be like jelly by the morning.

What are you making?

Americans use these terms more or less interchangeably. I would avoid cubes though.

In America, they are the same thing. Just buy regular fresh stock from the store.

@Grumpelstiltskin I can get the jelly effect from simmering a chicken carcass for 4 hours. Does longer simmering mean the jelly ends up firmer when the broth is cooled?

Waitrose sell it in bags
