Stock and broth are NOT exactly the same thing although many people use them
interchangeably. Broth is the liquid from cooking meat or vegetables while
stock is made with meat (or vegetables), water, bones and mirepoix (carrots,
onions, celery). Stock is a base and is therefore unsalted while broth may
have salt. The process of making stock takes longer as it extracts the
collagen from the bones so it may thicken or gel somewhat when cooled.
