Chicken stock, or broth is an indispensable ingredient in many recipes. Traditionally, chicken stock is an item that requires hours of slow- cooking, or simmering over low heat, to attain full- bodied flavor. Fortunately for home cooks everywhere, College Inn (R) Chicken Broth offers high- quality, homemade- tasting chicken broth packaged in 14.5 oz and 48 oz cans, as well as in 32 oz Aseptic, or “drink- box” containers. Personally, I have been utilizing this excellent brand of chicken broth for many years. Growing up, I observed both my mother and grandmother using College Inn (R) broths in many types of dishes and it made an impression on me. The flavor offered by this product is very similar to homemade chicken stock and it is not too salty, as some other brands of broth tend to be. For homemade chicken soup, I like to saute large- diced onions and celery in some oil, then add some leftover cooked chicken, followed by a couple of cans of College Inn (R) Chicken Broth. Depending on how pressed I am for time, sometimes I par- cook some diced potatoes and sliced carrots and add them to the broth, at other times, I add raw chopped potatoes and carrots and let them slowly cook to competion in the delicious, fragrant chicken broth. Being a longtime restaurant cook / chef, I’ll never forget the advice that a chef I apprenticed under gave me, he said “As long as you have chicken stock, you can make almost any type of soup”. With College Inn (R) Chicken Broth, such advice really is true. The rich, slow- cooked flavor afforded by this broth provides an ideal base for virtually any type of soup you may want to prepare. Of course, College Inn (R) Chicken Broth is also a wonderful product to use in the preparation of many types of sauces. I like to thin pasta sauces with it, in place of water and it is ideal for preparing Chicken a ‘la King, stir- fried chicken, various pork chop dishes and risottos. For extremely flavorful mashed potatoes, some intrepid cooks like to use College Inn (R) Chicken Broth in place of water, when boiling the potatoes.
