A guide to storing your favourite chicken broth efficiently

Chicken broth is one of people's favourite soups. What should you do if you don't eat the entire pot at once? Our grandmothers already knew how to store this delicacy to keep enjoying its delicious taste.

Indeed, each of us has cooked a bit too much for dinner. Even if we are fans of a particular dish, sometimes it's impossible to consume everything at once.

What should you do if you have too much delicious chicken broth? Properly stored, it won't lose its flavour. However, for this to happen, we must remember a few essential factors.

How should you store chicken broth if you want it to retain its aroma and not spoil? Our grandmothers likely already used the following method, ensuring the soup would remain good even after several days.

Chicken broth can be preserved in jars. How should you go about it? First, strain the broth from the vegetables and meat, then boil the clear broth again. Next, pour it into pre-sterilized jars, which must be tightly sealed and turned upside down. Let them cool down, covering them with a blanket. Once the jars are cold, place them in the refrigerator. This way, the chicken broth can last for even a few weeks!

Many people wonder if soups can be frozen. What about chicken broth? The broth can be safely frozen if you remove the meat and vegetables. The wholly cooled broth should be poured into ziplock bags. Remember not to fill the containers to the top; the frozen liquid will expand, potentially causing the bag to burst. Each bag should also be labelled with the date the broth was made—the broth can be stored in the freezer for about six months.
