Soup cubes, often referred to as bouillon cubes, are concentrated flavor enhancers used to prepare broth or enrich dishes. Originating in 19th-century Europe, they are popular in global cuisines for their convenience and ability to infuse meals with robust taste. Typically made from dehydrated meat stock or vegetable extracts, they may also contain salt, fat, seasonings, and preservatives. Common ingredients include beef, chicken, or vegetable bases paired with herbs and spices. While soup cubes provide essential flavor, they are often high in sodium, which can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Some variants contain added MSG or artificial additives, though low-sodium and organic alternatives have become increasingly available. They’re not a significant source of vitamins or minerals but serve as a quick way to add depth to soups, stews, or sauces without additional cooking steps. Moderation is key to balancing flavor with nutrition.
