Other forms: broths
Broth is thin clear soup made by simmering bones or vegetables. Chicken broth, a bowl of broth, simmer the broth.
It must never boil, because a rolling boil emulsifies the fat and turns it cloudy — the difference between broth and stock is mostly whether meat was in it. Too many cooks spoil the broth is the proverb about too much interference.
