What is the difference between beef bouillon and beef broth?

Answer 1

Consomme is crystal clear while broth will almost always have some suspended materials in it. Broth is made by simmering vegetables or meat and bones for some time, until the flavor of the simmered food has infused the water. The stock or broth is then usually poured through a strainer to remove most of the particles, bones, skin, and the meat. It's used this way, with no further processing. Consomme is cleared by adding a step: after sieving as above, egg whites are added to the hot broth or stock. As the egg whites cook, they precipitate into the stock, and begin to bind with some of the particles in the broth. They then rise to the top, appearing as scum or foam. Once the foam cap has formed, pouring off the broth from below, while leaving the cap undisturbed will produce consomme - a broth as clear of suspended particles as water.

Answer 2

Broth is the juice from cooking meat. Consumme is made from stock, stock is made from the bones of whatever kind of stock your making. in the case of beef consumme you would make a brown beef stock, roasting the bones before you simmer them. A consumme is very clean, reduced stock.

Answer 3

Beef bouillon and beef broth can mean the same thing, but bouillon may also be condensed (bouillon cubes or paste, for instance).

If you are using a bouillon cube or other condensed product, you will need to dissolve it in water to create a liquid broth.

My personal favorite is a paste sold in jars under the name "Better than Bouillon" Beef Base (they also have chicken and fish), which can be found in most stores in the soup broth and base section. It is a great addition to soups, sauces, rice, or just rubbed onto a roast to add more flavor.Better than Bouillon also comes in vegetable,it's hard to find,but oh so good, cook potatoes in it,no need for butter or margarine,makes great rice also.

Answer 4

Stock, in general is made with bones, vegetables, herbs and water. Consumee is made by clarifying and flavoring stock through ground meat, vegetables and herbs.

in short; consumee is made from stock

Answer 5

Beef stock is made by boiling meat and usually bones in water with seasonings and sometimes vegetable then straining it. Brown stock is made in the same way, but concentrates on the use of roasted bones.

Broth is a clear soup made from stock.

Answer 6

Eating beef broth is not the same as eating beef. Beef has some minerals and vitamins that don't transfer when broth is made, such as protein, iron, and vitamin D. Now I will state that broth has its uses, but as a staple in a diet, no.

Answer 7

A lot of water is removed from the condensed broth. You add water to dilute the flavor in your concoction. Broth - you have to boil off water to increase the flavor.
