1. Use broth to cook pasta or risotto
When cooking your favourite pasta, add some chicken or beef bone broth to your boiling water to add extra flavour and goodness!
Risotto is another great way to incorporate broth, when stirring in your liquid quantities, opt for the broth of your choice. It’ll add extra depth of flavour to your dish!
2. Use for poaching eggs
This one might catch you off guard, but it’s one of our favourite ways to use bone broth.
Instead of your usual water and vinegar mix when poaching eggs, try replacing it with bone broth.
Boil around 1 cup of broth per 2 eggs.
3. Add to mashed potatoes
Whether you’re lactose intolerant or not, you can swap out dairy products in your mashed potato (butter and milk) for bone broth.
The amount of bone broth you’ll need will depend on how many potatoes you’re using, so just add it in small amounts until you have your desired taste and consistency.
4. Make your own instant noodles
Don’t buy pre-packed instant noodles that contain with preservatives and other nasties.
Make your own delicious and nutritious version using bone broth instead. Try this recipe below, it’s just 199 calories per serve (serves 1).
Ingredients:
200mL Campbell’s Bone Broth From Free Range Chicken
30g BBQ Chicken (no skin or stuffing)
30g Chang’s Vermicelli Rice Noodles 99% Fat Free (weighed dry)

We have no doubt this will fast become one of your favourite ways to use bone broth!
5. DIY some dip
Perhaps another of the ways to use bone broth you might not have thought of!
If you’re making your own hummus, guacamole or any other dip of choice, try substituting the oil you’d normally use for a little broth. It’ll add tonnes of flavour and also lessen the calories!
6. Stir fry with veggies
When whipping up your favourite stir fry, opt for sautéing your vegetables in broth instead of oil! Like with the dips above, switch out oil in place for your broth of choice.
“I use a splash in the pan when cooking/stir-frying vegetables. It helps speed up the cooking process and adds flavour to the veggies,” says our in-house recipe developer, Greer.
7. Try your own marinade
