beef broth soup can be used for french dip but what about chicken broth. is that used as a sauce for anything?

>>15473249

When my dog has diarrhea I feed him white rice that I mix with chicken stock after it's cooked.

i bet some sliced chicken on a baguette with swiss dipped in chicken broth would be good

>>15473349
that doesn't make it a sauce though

>>15473438
Why not?

I would reckon that texture, consistency, and intensity are the main differentiators in most cases.
I would not count broth as sauce even if you're meant to dip bread in it, it's just dipping bread in soup. Imagine if you had ketchup the same consistency as broth and dipped fries in it - it'd be more like a tomato vinegar, not hardly a "sauce." You also would not use a sauce either on a sandwich or to dip which had big chunks of something in it like potato pieces or sausages, so to be ambiguous the texture must be either completely smooth or with very very small pieces like a chunky aioli or 1000 island.

You wouldn't eat a soup with the thick consistency of regular ketchup, and you wouldn't eat a bowl of something that was as strong-tasting as ketchup. I think if something is the right texture and the right intensity of flavor to be eaten as soup or used as sauce, then it can be both. Broth is not sauce because it is too thin. Most sauces (mayo, ketchup, hollandaise, mornay, glace) are not soups because they are too thick and/or too strong-tasting. But I have a carton of this nice all-natural portobello soup that I plan to eat as a soup, but which I could easily use as a sauce over chicken due to its pleasantly thick consistency and smooth texture.

I think more soups could be sauces rather than the other way around.

Is vinegar not a sauce? If I add enough red wine reduction to a plate of braised beef and potatoes, is it not indistinguishable from stew?

I it it both way. Sometimes it soupy sauce, other its it's a saucy soup. I make no generalized distinctions it is

All is density.

have it in a way, you fuck.

>>15473199
Yep. It's just use. Jams and salsa are also sauce. I don't mean a makeshift, my nana used to throw blackberry preserves on her, I mean things like coulis and chutney.
