can broth be eaten like soup

[in_newengland]

modcut here's my guess. I think it's the same as bouillon. What used to be served in bouillon cups before the main meal. Bouillon cups are two handled soup cups and they usually have a little dish that goes underneath then for the spoon to rest on. If broth is bouillon, of course people eat it like soup.

Of course it can be eaten like soup, and you can jazz up broth with the simplest of items..like rice or noodles. And broth is the
stock for many soups..Good stuff broth, keep eating it like soup. I would only recommend staying away from the the small
cubes that r loaded with sodium and find a low sodium canned one..

I love broth that I make when I'm making soup. Mom used to always give us broth in a cup when she was making soup.

Someone mentioned bouillon. I would shy away from that or pre-packaged broth, as the sodium can be exceptionally high. If you go that route, read the labels.

Love the stuff! Either my beef broth made from simmering flank steak for a vaca frita or a long simmering of a gallina(old hen) for my aji de gallina. If fact I find it a treat to have just a cup for myself before cooking the second stage of a meal.

If I am sick hubby already knows the drill and he will make me the beef broth and save the flank steak for shredding for when I feel better.

Cross country skiers, snowshoers and loggers often heat water and put a bullion cube in it. They need the hot drink to warm up and stay hydrated. The cube also has good electrolytes. We often put a bullion cube in the water when boiling rice. It improves the rice flavor.

Soup, broth; six of one, half a dozen of the other....

My Grandma made an old fashioned "Beef Tea", which was cooking beef for hours, and just eating the clear, rich broth. Time consuming, yes...something to be said for slow cooking movement.
