brothremains

Brothremains is a term that has emerged in online communities to describe the leftover, often solidified, sediment found at the bottom of a broth or soup container after the liquid has been consumed. These remains can consist of small pieces of vegetables, herbs, spices, or even meat or bone fragments that were not fully strained or were too small to be easily separated. The texture of brothremains can vary widely depending on the original ingredients and cooking method, ranging from soft and mushy to somewhat firm.

The concept of brothremains has gained traction on social media platforms, where users sometimes share humorous or observational posts about their encounters with them. Discussions often revolve around whether to discard the remains, attempt to salvage them, or even incorporate them into future dishes. Some individuals view brothremains as an inevitable byproduct of cooking, while others see them as a sign of a well-made, flavorful broth that was not overly filtered. The term itself is a portmanteau of "broth" and "remains," succinctly capturing its meaning. While not a formal culinary term, "brothremains" serves as a relatable descriptor for a common, albeit often overlooked, aspect of enjoying soups and broths.
