The taste of the finished dishes depends on compliance with the recipe and proportions of the main ingredients.

For example, buckwheat requires one amount of water, pasta another. And who thought about how much water is needed to make the best chicken broth?

In addition, the broth should be aromatic, rich and clear. Here are the best proportions.

To prepare you will need:

  • 2 kg chicken;
  • 3 liters of water;
  • 1 carrot;
  • 1 onion;
  • bay leaf, allspice, peppercorns, salt.

How to cook

A truly unique broth can be made from a laying hen, and not a young one (2-4 years old).

You need to cook the whole carcass (gutted, of course).

But broth from chicken breast is only good for making julienne in the future - it is simply impossible to cook a rich and tasty broth from it.

Vegetables. To get a nice golden color, many cooks boil the onion in the peel (after washing it first). Then they just throw it away.

Vegetables that you can add include carrots, parsley root, celery or leeks.

Another interesting trick is to add fried chicken legs or oven-baked chicken bones to the broth.

The result is a beautiful color and interesting taste.

But you need to salt the broth at the very end.
