Including recipes with vegetable stock, nutrition data, where it's found, and video. Stock is a flavoured water preparation. It forms the basis of many dishes, particularly soups and sauces. Stock is made by simmering various ingredients in water.
Today, ready-made stock and stock cubes consisting of dried, compressed stock ingredients are readily available. These are commonly known as bouillon cubes in the US or oxo cubes, after a common brand of stock cube sold in Britain or cooking base. Be further aware that in Britain, there is a distinct difference between Broth and Stock, very different to U. A Stock is a thin liquid made by simmering raw ingredients until all the taste has been retrieved from them, finalized by sieving to get a result that is a liquid alone.
Broth , on the other hand, is a soup in which there are solid pieces of meat or fish, along with some vegetables. The main difference being that the solid parts of the Broth are there to add flavour to the whole, the individual parts retaining their flavour.
Usually, a broth is made by using a stock as the base, then adding the required meat or fish and bringing the whole to a boil, with added vegetables. Being a thin and watery soup, Broth is frequently made more substantial by adding e.
Although strictly speaking a broth should contain some form of meat or fish, it is nowadays acceptable to refer to a Vegetable Broth, being a soup with just vegetables. Vegetable stock is usually found in the canned goods section or aisle of the grocery store or supermarket.

And yes, price varies widely, so we included a few of our favorites below. For our methodology and a list of all the broths we tasted, scroll to the bottom. First up, the winners:. This broth is the perfect marriage of a rich French-style roasted vegetable broth and a Japanese-style dashi , with umami-packed seaweed but obviously none of the bonito—aka dried fish—that's present in most dashi.
Brodo's vegetarian option balances the bright, clear taste of vegetables including organic onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes and deeply savory notes from mushrooms and seaweed. Chickpeas are another clever addition to this broth, likely giving it the satisfying body and texture not present in most of the other contenders. Just as in our beef broth tasting where Brodo's version also took home top prize , this is the broth that many of our tasters agreed they'd be just as happy sipping straight as they would using it in soups, stews, curries , and more.
This recipe for brothy beans with mushrooms and farro starts with a minute homemade veg stock situation. Buy Brodo and skip ahead. Want a vegetarian stock that'll taste just as good in your Thanksgiving stuffing as your favorite chicken or turkey broth?
Or maybe you want chicken soup but, you know, without the chicken? Go for Zoup. We promise it's vegan, even though it doesn't really have discernible vegetable flavor. The secret here is yeast extract which gives this broth a big punch of savory flavor that many tasters called "meaty.
Their organic option, while perfectly fine, has a completely different flavor profile which we found to be too carrot-forward—it might work well in a butternut squash soup , though. Kitchen Basics, the broth brand owned by spice giant McCormick, is an outlier in this field. While most contenders were light in color and in flavor , this broth has a dark, roasty flavor profile and color, and a sweetness reminiscent more of beef broth than chicken or vegetable broth.
That's not to say it tastes like beef. Instead, it offers a prominent tomato flavor, along with a mushroom backbone and substantial herbs like bay and thyme. We'd have no problem tossing this broth into a last minute winter vegetable soup , or keeping a box on hand to cook grains for a build-a-bowl situation.
We set out to find a great tasting all-purpose vegetarian and vegan broth. We tasted only broths with a sodium level below mg per cup—we think any higher than that is too salty for cooking, especially if you plan to reduce it for a sauce or gravy.
Note that this ruled out even the lower-sodium offerings of some brands. The best vegetable broth had to have balanced flavor and more body than the average glass of water. Many of the broths we sampled tasted of raw carrot peel, onion skin, and bitter, acrid herbs.
Some were no better than tap water.
