Is there any nutritional value in homemade chicken stock?

I just found out my parents boil chicken and carrots for the dogs every week then throw out the liquid at the end. I tried it today and it tastes just like broth with no salt. I was kind of annoyed and said I could drink it as broth/make soup with it by adding my own vegetables. Or at least the dogs should drink it with their food. But when I looked it up I couldn't really find anything saying it's beneficial to drink. Is there a point to this or is it just comfort to drink something hot?

Answer

If the chicken is boiled from raw not cooked bones then it’s chicken stock. From cooked bones it’s chicken broth. Either way, it’s gold. Yes you can drink it, Add it to other soups, general cooking. The point is nothing wrong with that full of nutrients. a cup of that every morning with a dash of salt is great on a cold day. Enjoy.

Answer

For the most part, it is water and salt. But it also has a little bit of protein

As for nutritional value, it’s nutritious, but not substantially so. Meaning, if you were to make a soup with it, most of the nutrition is what’s going to be in the actual soup.

It’s useful and has some value to it, but it’s not a be all end all
