Chicken Stock vs. Broth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between stock and broth? They\u2019re often used interchangeably for home cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock <\/strong><\/em>is used as an ingredient and is not salted. Broth <\/strong><\/em>is a complete dish that can be served. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In other words, when you turn your homemade Instant Pot chicken stock into a flavorful chicken noodle soup, it becomes broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canned vs. Homemade Chicken Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love canned stock for convenience and quick meals. But whenever we\u2019re making a dish in which the broth really shines, like chicken noodle or another clear soup, the stock you use is so important. That\u2019s when we always choose homemade chicken stock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re looking for an even faster shortcut than pressure cooker chicken stock, our Electric Pressure Cooking Cookbook<\/a> features a superfast recipe that starts with rotisserie chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing and Storing Chicken Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can easily make a big batch of homemade stock and freeze it for later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the stock cool fully, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 months. It refreezes well, so you can remove the amount of stock you need for a recipe and place the remaining broth back into the freezer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: <\/strong>Freeze the stock in small containers. Then you can easily pop one out of the freezer to make broth without defrosting a big frozen block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to use your freshly made stock within a few days, keep it fresh in the fridge for up to three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasoning Chicken Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This chicken stock recipe calls for the classic French seasonings and herbs. However, if you don\u2019t have one of them on hand or your family doesn\u2019t love parsley, for example, you can easily change up the flavorings to suit your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other herbs and spices are all nice ways to change things up! Try rosemary, white peppercorns, ginger, dried chilis, and garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
