Uses for Chicken Broth

I boiled a family pack of chicken wings for my mother and I have a pot full of tasty chicken broth on hand. What can I do with the broth? Can it be frozen and used later?

I have made chicken stock before, and put it into the fridge. This allows the fat to rise to the top which I scoop off. I then reheat it later on, and use it to make a wonderful risotto (the best risottos are made with hot stock, not cold).

Chicken broth makes wonderful egg drop soup, you can also use it to cook pearled barley-yummy!

It freezes wonderfully. Use in for soups, stews, gravies, to cook noodles or steam veggies in, with powdered milk in mashed potatoes, in white sauces, or in just about anything you'd use water/milk in when cooking.

You can also freeze the broth in ice cube trays(standard trays hold 2T per cube cup).After they freeze just store them in a zipper bag.

For a quick no meat dish, do rice and broth, with salt and pepper.

Make enough for your family. This can make a soup or regular rice for side dish, depending on how much broth is left with rice.

Yes you can freeze chicken broth, I put mine in 1 c. portion in a Ziploc bags, and I freeze them in 3 c. at a time in my food saver,
This way they're ready to go for rice, gravies, fricassee & soup, I sometimes add it to vegetables when I've ended up with a surplus I put it in my beans in Chile.
But do not forget to skim the fat off.
