Chicken stock
Also called: chicken stock, chicken broth, murgh stock, chicken stok, chicken bouillon, chicken stock (home)
Chicken stock is that comforting murgh ka shorba base that smells like home the moment it starts simmering. People usually sip it on a cold evening, during a light sick-day meal, or use it to build soups, khichdi, and gravies — simple, but so soothing.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 cup)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
Chicken stock is light on the stomach and easy to digest because it’s mostly water with a little protein from chicken. The onion, peppercorns, and bay leaf can gently stimulate digestion, while the warm broth helps if your gut feels a bit sluggish or you’re recovering from an upset stomach. Since this version has very little fiber, it won’t do much for gut bacteria on its own, but it can be a nice, gut-friendly base if you add veggies, methi, or a few soaked grains. If you make it at home, keep the salt a little low so it stays easy on both the gut and the body.
