Can I substitute a chicken bullion cube for chicken broth in a recipe?

Question

I only have the cubes and threw out the package they came in. How do I turn this into broth properly? Can I use this as a substitute?

Does the water have to be hot when I put the cube in?

Answer 1

yup

dissolve it in boiling water

best to start with 1 cube bullion to 1 cup of water

if the flavor is a bit strong, add water little by little until the desired flavor is achieved

Answer 2

Yes, a cube is the amount for a cup of water. It can be substituted for the broth . If you are using a lot of broth it might be more flavorful to add an extra bullion cube to increase the flavor when you dissolve them before adding to the recipe.

Answer 3

I cube to every 6 to 8 ounces of water (depending on how strong a flavor you like) as a substitute for canned broth.

Answer 4

You can use 1 bullion cube to a cup of hot water. The water has to be hot to melt the cube.

Answer 5

Yes, (1) cube for every cup of water. I put it in a coffee cup and put it in the microwave for a couple of minute and then take it out and stir it. Then you can add it to your recipe like chicken broth.
Good Luck

Answer 6

I dont think the answer is so much CAN you, cause obviously you can, but do you want to? It might be worth a shot, but I cant think of any recipes I know of where cream of chicken could be substituted for chicken broth, as they arent even close to the same thing.

Answer 7

one bullion cube with one cup hot water will make one cup broth. if you are going to be heating after you put them in what you are cooking no the water does not have to be hot.

Answer 8

yes-you use 1 cup of water per cube. make the water hot to dissolve the cube.

Answer 9

yes the correct ratio is 1 cube=1cup but i put 2 cubes per cup. and it doesnt say but it does have to be boiling water

Answer 10

Boil one cup of water with one cube - The package of my bouillon cube.
