Is chicken broth same as soup?

Chicken broth and soup are not the same thing, but they are related. Here's the breakdown:

* Chicken broth is a base for soup. It's a clear liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables in water. It's essentially a concentrated flavoring agent.

* Soup is a dish that typically contains a broth or stock, along with other ingredients like vegetables, meat, grains, or noodles.

Think of it like this:

* Chicken broth is like the flour in a cake recipe.

* Soup is the actual cake made from the flour (broth), sugar, eggs, and other ingredients.

You can use chicken broth to make soup, but you can also use it in other dishes like sauces, rice, and even to flavor vegetables.
