Properly cooked broth is aerobatics in cooking. It depends on the quality ready soup, sauce or aspic prepared on it. And the fish or meat broth itself is already an independent dish. It can be served with croutons, pies or by adding boiled egg. Unfortunately, sometimes the broth becomes cloudy and loses its appetizing appearance. What to do in this case? How to make the broth clear again?


What determines the transparency of the broth

In many ways, from the products from which it is prepared.


  1. The fatter the meat, the more likely the broth will be cloudy. During cooking, the fats become liquid and form an emulsion with it. The longer the broth is cooked, the more likely it is that the fats will break down into fatty acids and glycerin and the broth will become cloudy.

  2. From thawed meat, the broth often turns cloudy than from fresh. When defrosting, the meat loses juices, which turn into water during cooking. The broth becomes more nutritious and saturated, but some of the proteins coagulate, forming foam, which causes the loss of transparency.

  3. If the water boils strongly during cooking, the broth, even from chicken breast, is guaranteed to turn out to be cloudy. When boiling, small drops of fat and protein flakes are mixed, which form an emulsion and make the broth cloudy.

  4. It is important to remove all pop-up foam when boiling until it stops forming. Otherwise, the broth will become cloudy.


The fat content of the meat used for cooking affects the clarity of the broth.

The quality of meat or fish does not always depend on us, but proper cooking to achieve maximum transparency is in our hands. To do this, it is useful to know some rules:


  1. Before cooking, the products must be thoroughly washed with cold water, they should not be left with blood.

  2. Products need to be laid in cold water, if the goal is to cook not meat, but broth. So everything valuable will gradually move from meat to liquid and the broth will turn out tastier and richer. If the meat is placed in hot water, the proteins on the surface will coagulate, the pores will close, and everything of value will remain in the meat. Which is good for meat, but bad for broth.

  3. Bring the water to a boil with strong heat, reduce to a small one, after removing the foam, cook at a minimum. Water should not boil, but only sway.

  4. We only cover the pan with a lid, but not tightly, otherwise the broth will begin to boil and lose transparency.

  5. After boiling, remove all the foam. We do this until it forms. Most sources advise doing this with a slotted spoon, but better with a spoon, it turns out cleaner. It is also advisable to remove excess fat.

How to Make a Clear Broth for Poultry, Meat or Fish Soup

To cook a clear broth, you need to know some rules and follow the instructions clearly.

1. Let's prepare the products: we cut the meat into small pieces, we clean the bones, we chop them, we get rid of gills and eyes from fish heads, we also chop large heads. Kura can be put in whole.

Chicken for broth can not be cut, but boiled whole

2. Thoroughly wash the products, but do not wring out so that they do not lose juices.

To prepare the broth, the products are poured with cold water.

3. On high heat, bring to a boil under a tightly closed lid.

So that the broth is not cloudy, you need to remove all the foam

4. Pour a spoonful of cold water, after boiling, remove the foam that has surfaced. We repeat three times.
5. Reduce the heat to the minimum, open the lid or remove it completely. From time to time we remove the foam and fat.
6. We put the roots and vegetables and, if necessary, salt: chicken broth - 15-20 minutes before the end of cooking, meat - 30 minutes before the end of cooking, put salt in the fish broth immediately after boiling.

Vegetables and roots will make the broth more tasty and fragrant.

7. We put seasonings and herbs. For broths, a "bouquet garni" is made.
8. Cook until tender. You can determine the readiness of the meat. To do this, the thickest edge must be pierced with a chef's needle or just a fork. If they go in easily, the meat is ready.
9. We take out the meat, throw out the vegetables, filter the broth through a fine sieve or cheesecloth in 2-3 additions.

Chicken and egg broth - a tasty and healthy dish

"Bouquet garni" - a mixture of spicy herbs tied with a thread. It dips into the broth when cooked, then is taken out and thrown away. The classic bouquet includes bay leaf, parsley and thyme. Herbs vary depending on the recipe.

Bouquet garni is spicy herbs for cooking broth, tied with thread

For small seasonings, such as peppercorns, you can make a knot of gauze or a wide bandage and lower it into the pan. If you are straining the broth, seasonings can be put directly into the pan, then they will remain on the sieve.

To make the broth even more transparent, you can cook the dish for 15 minutes after boiling, drain the water, wash the meat and dishes again, pour cold water again and cook as described above. It is believed that in this way you will get rid of all the harmful substances and antibiotics contained in the products. A controversial statement, since most of the nutrients also pass into the broth in the first 20 minutes.

How to cook broth from chicken or breast

Cooking time depends on the age of the bird and the size of the piece, from 40 minutes to 2 hours. If a dietary broth is being prepared, it is recommended to remove the skin, it contains a lot of fat. If you are simmering broth with giblets, don't put in the liver, it will add flavor and may cause the broth to become cloudy.

They say that to make the broth golden, you need to use a certain type of chicken: skinny and preferably one that has reached on foot 🙂 yykh I'm serious. I was enlightened by my father-in-law, who lives in Perm and who always buys a certain type of chicken for broth, her bones still don’t gnaw at all. 🙂 The broth is excellent.

Base for beef or pork soup

It is desirable to take meat with a bone. A pitted broth is like a song without accompaniment. Okay, but something is missing. You can also cook bone broth, without meat. The bones are pre-cut into pieces, the tubular ones are boiled whole. Wash prepared foods, clean the bones. beef broth boiled for 3 hours, pork - 2 hours, bone - 4-5 hours. Salt is added 30 minutes before the end of cooking, then roots and herbs are added.

How to make a delicious decoction of fish

Fish broth is cooked no longer than 40 minutes, salt is recommended at the beginning of cooking.

A well-cooked broth must be transparent, with glitters of fat on the surface.

Carrots, onions, celery and parsley root are put in meat and chicken broths, onions and parsley greens are put in fish broths.

To give the chicken broth a nice golden hue, put in it onion peel while it is cooking. You can boil the husk in a separate bowl, and then add the broth to the dish. This will improve its color and enrich it with vitamins. Another option is to caramelize the sugar until dark and then pour it into the broth. But this is a matter of taste.

Basis for jelly and aspic

For cooking jellied meat, it is very important to properly prepare the products. Since those parts that are not used in other dishes - legs, tails, heads - go to jellied meat, they must be processed before cooking. The aspic kit must be pre-soaked in cold water for 3-12 hours to remove excess blood and soften the skin. After that, scrape the meat ingredients with a knife and wash again.

Next, as usual, put the food in a saucepan, add cold water, bring to a boil, remove the foam and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. But in this case, it is appropriate to drain the first broth. This will not only allow for greater transparency, but also reduce the calorie content of the jelly, because we are cooking a very rich broth.

The washed meat is poured with cold water, brought to a boil and, as described above, boiled for 5-6 hours over low heat. A multicooker helps a lot in this process, but if it is not there, it is quite possible to get by with a stove. Vegetables and roots are laid 1 hour before the end of cooking, salt and spices are added 30 minutes before.

As you can see, the preparation of a clear broth requires attention and a reverent attitude. But if for some reason it is still cloudy, you need to lighten it.

Broth for jelly must be cooked over very low heat, otherwise it will become cloudy

How to lighten cloudy fish, chicken or meat broth

A brace will help restore the transparency of the broth. From the name it is clear that the guy exists to pull the dregs, fat and foam flakes from the broth onto itself.

The easiest way to stretch is with egg white. Beat the egg white slightly with a fork and in a thin stream, while stirring, introduce into the broth that has cooled to 70 degrees. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The protein will capture all the turbidity from the broth and sink to the bottom. It remains only to strain it.

I don’t use an egg, but only protein, and sometimes several proteins ... (one per 1.5 liters of broth) it curls up with grains of meat and foam, which create turbidity, it’s easier to filter in this form ... but I often filter through a paper filter that is used in coffee maker, before just through a waffle towel

Melwin


Another way is to add diluted water to the broth chopped meat. For meat broth, minced meat is taken, for chicken - chicken. Mixed with egg white, diluted with a little cold broth or water. Minced meat is introduced into the broth, mixed, the dish is allowed to boil and boiled for several minutes. The stuffing will cook and sink to the bottom. After that, the broth must be filtered through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.

Instead of minced meat, you can use grated carrots, then you do not need to dilute with water. The main principle: there should be a protein in the guy that will bind the turbidity.

For fish broth in the old days, a brace from pressed caviar was used. Now you can do with egg white.

  2. Water for 1 serving is usually poured 2-2.5 glasses, taking into account the fact that about a glass will evaporate during cooking. It is undesirable to add water later - the taste of the broth will be worse.
  3. Salt the broth immediately. But if the broth is needed for the subsequent preparation of other dishes, then be careful with salt, so as not to run into a problem later. In this case, it is better to add salt later.
  4. The broth should be boiled over medium heat. A strong fire is a cloudy broth, a weak fire is a weak broth.
  5. As soon as the broth boils, remove the foam with a slotted spoon and reduce the heat.
  6. In the course of cooking, it is recommended to remove fatty spangles, since if the fat is heated for a long time, it acquires an unpleasant taste and smell.

AT classic recipe the whole chicken is used in the broth, but individual or just a soup set from any supermarket will do. You should not take only the breast: the meat can turn out to be tough, and the broth can be hateful.

In addition to the main ingredient, chicken, onions, carrots, celery and seasonings are added to the broth. To give a more saturated color, vegetables can be sautéed in a small amount of oil.

  • 1 kg of chicken;
  • 5 liters of water;
  • 1 onion;
  • 1 carrot;
  • salt, peppercorns - to taste;
  • greenery for decoration.

How to cook broth

Wash the chicken and put it in a deep pot. You can not cut the whole carcass.

Pour in water so that it covers the meat. If you want the chicken to be tasty, then salt it right away. If you prefer a tasty and clear broth, add salt at the end of cooking.

Wash and peel carrots and onions. Cut the carrot into several pieces, leave the onion whole or cut in half.

Put the pot on a slow fire. Make sure that the water does not boil, only small bubbles should form on the surface. This will allow the broth to remain transparent. To do this, remove the resulting foam in a timely manner.

During the cooking process, the water may boil away, so it should be added.

After 1.5 hours (if you use broiler chicken, then after 10 minutes) add carrots, onions and peppers to the broth. Cook for 1 more hour.

When the time is up, try to separate the meat from the bones. If it doesn't work, cook more. If the meat comes off, it is ready - remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.

Cooked vegetables can be removed from the broth: all beneficial features they have already given. Also take out the chicken. The meat can be used in soups and snacks.

Ready-made broth can be consumed in its pure form or used as the basis of soups.
