Chicken broth: benefits and harms

The benefits of the broth have long been overgrown with legends, and many of them are quite true.

It's believed that properly brewed broth can lift even the most seriously ill patients to their feet.

And in America in the last century, this liquid dish was even nicknamed “Jewish penicillin”, its healing power is so amazing.

Chicken broth is indispensable for poisoning (this also includes a hangover), after surgery, for colds or flu, as well as for gastritis and some other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

It is worth introducing this dish to a nursing mother on the menu, you can also give it to a small child. What is the secret of its healing power? And is chicken broth really healthy?

Modern doctors believe that chicken broth is an excellent restorative remedy, since all the beneficial substances contained in meat and bones (and there are a lot of them in chicken) are transferred by 60% to the broth itself. And for any organism, especially a weakened one, it is much easier to get proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals from liquid, easily digestible food.

Its benefit is also that it stimulates the digestive tract, stimulates appetite, and is also almost completely absorbed.

But not everything is so rosy.

Chicken meat today is significantly different in chemical composition from what it was even a few decades ago.

Modern chickens are fattened with artificial feed, the purpose of which is to make a quick profit.

Therefore, there are also growth hormones so that the chicken gains weight faster, and antibiotics so that the bird does not get sick and does not die.

These substances dangerous to humans accumulate in meat, and from there they pass into a decoction. This is the main harm of a seemingly healing dish.

How to cook chicken broth so that you get only the benefits? There are a couple of secrets:

  • drain the first water 10 minutes after boiling;
  • try to buy chickens in the villages (the average villager simply does not have money for all these nutritional supplements).

But even if you have correctly cooked the broth from chicken meat grown in the most environmentally friendly conditions, you should not give it to those who have been diagnosed with obvious liver problems, as well as people with low acidity of gastric juice. It is harmful in pancreatitis, especially in acute form, with a stomach ulcer.

Be careful with children's food. Many pediatricians, due to the ambiguity of benefits and harms, are still arguing from what point chicken broth can be given to a child. Many advise not to introduce it into the diet earlier than a year and a half.

How to choose a chicken


It all depends on your tastes:

  • from the back with a tail and legs, a rich fatty broth is obtained;
  • the same will come out if you take the front part with wings without fillets;
  • chicken breast broth - a dish for those who are on a diet;
  • if you need to cook a decoction with meat, then take the legs;
  • the back will make an excellent basis for light first courses - without excess fat, but with a rich taste.

By the way, it is better to buy not broilers, but laying hens - although their meat requires longer cooking, the taste and smell are much brighter as a result.

Chickens are also a good option, especially for baby food - they have less fat and are less likely to be high in harmful substances.

Recipes for every taste

There are actually quite a few ways to make chicken broth. You can make the usual classic, on the basis of which soups and cabbage soup are then cooked. And you can cook one that will be an independent dish in itself. There are also quick cooking options when time is running out, and there are also special recipes, for example, a real healing broth.

Secrets of the perfect chicken broth

Properly brewed chicken broth is a fragrant clear liquid with a delicious taste!

Taste and smell depend not only on meat - spices and vegetables also play a big role.

In addition to standard carrots and onions, celery, parsley roots and leaves, bell peppers, and garlic can be sent to the pan.

The most popular vegetable - potatoes - is no longer added for smell, but for taste, when you need to cook a light, nutritious soup.

The choice of spices is almost unlimited, then focus on your own preferences. Chicken goes well with dill, turmeric, paprika, different types of pepper.

The transparency of the broth does not depend on vegetables and spices, but it completely depends on the correct preparation and cooking of meat. Basic rules on how to cook a transparent first course:

  • use only bones and meat, no offal (especially carefully when cooking the carcass - there are almost always lungs and kidneys on the inside of the back). You can cook chicken hearts and ventricles separately, and then add to the already prepared broth;
  • how much to cook chicken broth also plays a role - the longer, the more likely it is to get a cloudy liquid;
  • do not interfere while it is cooking, just remove the scale (noise, foam);
  • after boiling, the fire should be minimal;
  • put the meat in cold water.

Attention!

For transparency, it does not matter when you salt the broth. The addition of salt only affects the taste and content of nutrients. If you need to make meat more tasty and healthy, then salt at the end, if the fat itself is at the beginning.

It is difficult to say why the soup turns cloudy even if all the rules are followed. You can make it transparent again either by straining 2-3 times through several layers of gauze, or by introducing whipped chicken protein into the liquid. After that, boil and filter again. However, transparency is purely aesthetic.

Chicken Broth KBJU: Calories, Proteins, Fats, and Carbs

The nutritional value of chicken broth differs in many sources: someone insists that this is a very nutritious dish, someone claims that they even lost weight on the broth, it is so low in calories.

In fact, everyone is right - and there are such diets for weight loss, and you can get better from it.

It all depends on which parts of the chicken to use and what you will add besides it.

The calorie content of the broth on a breast without skin is about 20 kcal, but for cooked from a whole carcass it is 40-50 kcal. And if you add vermicelli to this, then the calorie content increases by another 30-40 kcal.

BJU (that is, the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates) usually differs only in fat content.

All about storage

It is important not only to know the secrets of cooking, but also how to store chicken broth. The easiest way is to send it to the freezer by pouring it into a plastic bottle. And after 3 months you can get it and apply it, for example, for kharcho or okroshka.

Another option is to freeze in ice cube trays. Cubes are convenient to use when you need a little broth.

But the shelf life in the refrigerator of chicken broth is only 2-3 days.

Useful video

The basis of a clear broth should be laid at the very beginning of cooking. The most delicious and rich broths are obtained from meat "on the bone", that is, from a combination of meat and bone components. Well-thawed and thoroughly washed meat should only be poured with cold water.

If fatty meat is used, after boiling, the cloudy water must be drained, topped up with clean water and continue cooking. At the same time, immediately reduce the heat under the pan to a minimum.

To obtain a fragrant and clean broth during cooking, you need to put a whole peeled onion in it, which should be removed at the end of cooking, and foam should be periodically removed from the surface of the liquid. To do this, you need a slotted spoon - a special flat spoon with holes.

It is necessary to make a reservation and mention the nuances associated with fish and chicken broths. When cooking, you need to salt it before laying the vegetables in the pan - this will keep it transparent. And fish broths should be boiled only from pike perch - all other types of fish will make the broth cloudy. And it can't be fixed.

During the entire preparation of the dish, do not cover the pan with a lid, because when the lid is closed, the foam that appears does not rise up, but immediately settles to the bottom.

As for some types of vegetables, it should be mentioned separately. It is better not to grate it, but just cut it. Otherwise, it will give additional yellowish foam.

If, despite all efforts, the broth still turned out to be cloudy, you can resort to emergency measures, namely, to clarify it with absorbents.

First, the meat must be removed from the liquid. Then you can start straining the broth. For these purposes, a fine sieve or gauze folded in 3-4 layers is suitable. Strained broth is suitable for soups, but if it was conceived as an independent dish, it is also necessary to carry out clarification.

To do this, you need the protein of one egg - the yolk will not take part in cleaning. One protein is able to lighten two liters of broth. Well-whipped protein is excellent absorbent.

The resulting mixture should be poured into a slightly cooled broth in a thin stream, stirring it constantly so that the protein is evenly distributed throughout the contents of the pan. After that, you need to let the broth boil over low heat, continuing to stir it.

A five-minute simmer is more than enough for the egg white to coagulate and settle to the bottom. It is not necessary to take it out with a slotted spoon. The broth can simply be re-strained.

In addition to the absorbent described above, the so-called "drawback" can be used. It is also prepared on the basis of egg whites, but 100 grams of minced meat and two or three tablespoons of broth should be added to it. Such an absorbent will not only cleanse and clarify the broth, but also add nutrients to it.

The recipe of some dishes, such as jellied or clear soups, involves the use of absolutely pure, light broth.

Broth is a decoction made from meat, fish, vegetables, mushrooms. And more often than not, it turns out to be muddy. To prevent this from happening, you need to adhere to a certain technology that will provide the dish with the necessary richness and transparency.

How to make clear broth

The key to a successful broth lies in the preparation for its preparation. Properly selected ingredients and temperature regime will provide an excellent result.

The most delicious and rich broth will not come from a whole piece of meat, but from a combination of meat and bones. It is thanks to the bones that the decoction acquires a characteristic gelatinousness. By the way, the bones of young animals contain more gelatin than adults. It is better not to use frozen meat for broth, as it loses some of the juices when defrosted.

There are no strict recommendations on the ratio of bones, meat and water. Consider the basic culinary rule: the more bones, the more rich and gelatinous the broth will be. Pour thoroughly washed raw materials with cold water, hot immediately seals the outer layer of meat, which will prevent the release of juices. Adjust for boiling and pour in enough water, since it is strongly not recommended to add water (neither cold nor hot) during the cooking process.

Put the pan on high heat, after boiling, remove the foam, then reduce the heat to a minimum and continue to cook, periodically removing fat and foam. It is with slow cooking that more juices are released from the meat than with intense boiling. What will definitely make your broth cloudy is the bubbling.

The time of cooking the broth is determined by the bones laid in the base, and the amount of water (an average of 3 liters). Beef cooks the longest (8–10 hours), veal (6–8 hours) a little less, pork (4–6 hours) even less, and chicken boils the fastest (about 3 hours). In the kitchens of some restaurants, the broth is cooked for 36 hours in a row!

To make the broth more fragrant and acquire a beautiful color, use a whole onion, root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, celery) at the rate of 1 kg of vegetables per 3 kg of bones and meat. Professional chefs use bouquet garni to flavor the broth. These are parsley sprigs, celery stalks, bay leaves, and spicy herbs gathered in a bunch and tied with kitchen thread. Lay a fragrant bouquet 15 minutes before the end of cooking.

If, with all the efforts made, the broth turned out to be cloudy, you can try to fix it with the help of a proven cooking technique.

How to make the broth clear

  1. Remove all bones, meat and roots from the liquid, strain the broth through a fine sieve.
  2. To clarify 2 liters of broth, you need to take the protein of 1 egg.
  3. Beat the egg white thoroughly and pour in a thin stream, stirring constantly, into the slightly cooled broth. Return the saucepan to the heat and, continuing to stir, let the contents come to a boil.
  4. After 5 minutes of boiling, the protein will curl up and collect all the meat suspension. Turn off the heat and leave the pot for 15-20 minutes so that all the flakes settle to the bottom. Gently strain the broth again and enjoy the amber beauty!

The broth is a decoction that is obtained by stewing meat, mushrooms, vegetables or poultry in water. The finished first course is consumed on its own or in combination with croutons. The broth is indicated for people who have recently suffered a serious illness or a complex operation. It restores strength faster and is easily digested. For this reason, housewives are interested in how to cook a delicious clear broth on meat.

Classic meat broth

  • meat or poultry - 600 gr.
  • greens (any, fresh) - 30 gr.
  • Provencal herbs - to your taste
  • carrots (cut into pieces) - 1 pc.
  • onion (chopped into 4 parts) - 1 pc.
  • filtered water - 2 l.
  1. Wash greens with vegetables and meat, dry. Meat for making broth should not be cut, because during the cooking process it should release juices gradually. Only in this case you will get a completely transparent dish. If the broth is made from poultry, remove the skin beforehand so that the potion does not turn out to be greasy.
  2. Send the washed and dried meat to the pan, add water according to the recipe (chilled). Put it on the stove, wait for it to boil.
