'''Broth''' is a [[liquid]] in which [[bone]]s, [[meat]], [[fish]], [[cereal]] grains, or [[vegetable]]s have been [[simmering|simmered]] and strained out. Broth is used as a basis for other edible liquids such as [[soup]], [[gravy]], or [[sauce]]. It can be eaten alone or with [[garnish (food)|garnish]].
U.S. [[culinary school]]s often differentiate between broth, usually made from viable portions of [[animal]] [[meat]], and [[stock (food)|stock]], which may be less palatable, often made from vegetable scraps and [[bone]]s.
Broth has been made for many years using the animal bones which, traditionally, are boiled in a cooking [[pot]] for long periods to extract the flavour and nutrients. The bones may or may not have meat still on them. Broth is regarded as having little [[nutrient]] value on its own. Sometimes broth can be referred to as [[water]] with [[salt]].
When it is necessary to clarify a broth (i.e. for a cleaner presentation), [[egg white]]s may be added during simmering – the egg whites will [[coagulate]], trapping [[sediment]] and [[turbidity]] into a readily strainable mass.
In [[East Asia]] (particularly [[Japan]]), a form of [[kelp]] called [[kombu]] is often used as the basis for broths (called ''[[dashi]]'' in [[Japanese language|Japanese]]).
