Stock is structure. Broth is soul. Consomme is show-off energy. Each has a job, and each is wonderful.
Next time you walk the grocery aisle, look at those cartons. Don’t just grab one. Own your choice. You understand the bones, the meat, and the magical raft.
Go forth, brave pot-watcher. Simmer something. Make your kitchen smell like a dream. And remember: if it gets clear, you’ve gone full fancy. No turning back.
