What is the difference between chicken stock, chicken base, chicken bouillon and chicken broth? Many recipes call for one of them and I wonder if they are all the same?

    They are all basically the same. I use chicken stock, I make myself. Base is a paste and is better than boullon or boxed chicken broth from stores. To make a good chicken or turkey stock, use left over chicken bones, after deboning chicken, add carrots, onions, and celery(stalks, skins and all) to full pot of water(big 8 -12 Qt pot), add garlic, pepper, salt, and I also add white wine, if I have any I haven't drank. Boil for up to 4 hours. Strain and freeze in quart containers for future use with any recipe that calls for chicken broth.

    Stocks are made from mostly bones while broths are made with mostly meat. Bouillion is the same as stock but here it generally means dehydrated stock (powder or blocks) I don't know what chicken base is. Consomme is a broth which has been cooked with a clarification i.e. ground meat and egg mixture that forms a "raft" on top of a cooking liquid qnd captures the solids.Jean Pierre Little Steven
