Broth is typically made with meat and can contain a small amount of bones (think of the bones in a fresh whole chicken). Broth is typically simmered for a short period of time (45 minutes to 2 hours). It is very light in flavor, thin in texture and rich in protein.
One More Bonus from Adding Cornstarch. This recipe calls for using a bit of cornstarch in both the broth and in the eggs themselves. In the broth, it adds body; in the eggs, it keeps them silky and tender. This is a trick I picked up from Kenji LÃ³pez-Alt in his recipe for egg drop soup on Serious Eats. He says the bit of cornstarch in the eggs will inhibit protein bonds and keep the eggs from going rubbery.
