Could a synonym for the word broth be stew?

Answer 1

Not really; stew has chunks of meat and vegetables, whereas broth is smooth.

Synonyms for broth include bouillon, consommé, stock, elixir, distillation, brew, and puree.

Answer 2

Broth and stew are not synonyms. As Mark said, broth is a clear liquid with solids strained out. Stew is a chunky liquid with pieces of meat and vegetables in it. A synonym for broth would be bouillon.

Answer 3

No, broth and stew are not synonyms. Broth is a thin, clear liquid made by simmering meat or vegetables in water, while stew is a dish made by simmering meat and vegetables in a thick, flavorful sauce.

Answer 4

In very general terms they could be considered synonyms. Broth is usually clear with no texture, while stew has chunks of things in them.

Answer 5

Stew is assumed to contain beef and vegetables, so no. Broth is much more like soup but you should use an adjective to show it has nothing in it-- such as "clear soup", "plain soup".
