What is Stock?

Stock is a liquid derived from meats, fish or vegetables and is used as a base for soups and sauces. Common stocks include veal, fish, vegetable, beef and chicken.  The difference between between stock and broth is that stock is made with bones (not vegetable stock) and both is just made from meat (or vegetables).

Substitute For Stock

If you don't have the stock you need:

  • Most stocks may be used interchangeably.  For example, you can substitute vegetable stock for any recipe calling for meat stock.
  • Beware; stocks can overpower delicate flavors.  You may also use water in place of stock.
  • OR - Replace stock with broth.  Broths are usually thinner and offer less depth of flavor and may contain other seasonings.
  • If your recipe calls for a small amount (a cup or less) you can substitute white wine.
  • OR - Use bouillon cubes, powder or paste. This will typically be saltier.
