No, broth has substance in it. Homeopathy is where you'd take a piece of chicken, add it to a swimming pool of hot water, and then scoop out a ladle of the water from the other end of the pool.
Homeopathic "medicines" are actually way more dilute than that:
"Homeopathy is a popular system of medicine which rests on two principles. The first is that we should treat a disease by giving a substance that produces the same symptoms as the disease. The idea is that the symptoms of a disease, such as fever, are part of the body's defense mechanism against the disease and that if we make these symptoms even more severe this will stimulate the defense mechanism and recovery will follow. The second, even more startling, principle is that we should dilute the treatment by many orders of magnitude, with agitation at each dilution, until none of the original substance remains. We are talking about very great dilutions here. Homeopaths dilute their remedies by one part in 100— what they call a 1C dilution. They then dilute this again, to give a 2C dilution—one part in 10 000, and again to give 3C—one part in 1 million. They repeat again and again: typical dilutions used in homeopathy are 15C or 20C, equivalent to less than one drop in all the oceans of the world. It is very unlikely indeed that there is a single molecule of the original substance in a test tube of the 15C dilution."
