Since ancient times, cultures from all around the world have been making broths. Authentic Italian, Chinese and Vietnamese cuisines, for instance, rely on very flavorful broths for many of their classic dishes.

Broths are made by simmering meat that is still attached to the bone, along with a combination of vegetables and aromatics. Aside from producing a tasty liquid, broths also produce a cooked and usable meat at the same time. For example, the leftover meat can be used to stuff pasta or both the meat and liquid can be used to create a whole meal. Chicken Pot Pie is a perfect example of this.
