"To exist in the modern world is to always be juggling a million different things. This can make it hard to find the time to craft a flavorful meal from scratch. But chef Rocco DiSpirito has an underutilized solution for any home cook short on time, and it comes inside an unassuming jar that you can find in almost any supermarket soup aisle for a steal: bouillon powder."
"Bouillon powder is essentially a dehydrated, concentrated flavoring made from a blend of chicken extract, flavorings, herbs, and salt. "It's got a million brand names, but most of the time you're talking about basically some sort of concentrated poultry flavor, which almost always has MSG," DiSpirito said, speaking to the fact that manufacturers will often add additional seasonings and MSG to enhance the umami flavor."
Bouillon powder offers a fast, affordable way to add concentrated poultry flavor and umami to home-cooked meals, helping cooks short on time boost taste without lengthy stock-making. The powder is widely available in supermarket soup aisles and comes in many brand variations. It is a dehydrated, concentrated flavoring made from chicken extract, flavorings, herbs, and salt, and manufacturers often add MSG and extra seasonings to enhance umami. Chicken powder and bouillon powder differ slightly, with chicken powder delivering a meatier, stronger taste. Bouillon cubes combine stock with herbs, vegetables, and spices for a fuller-bodied stock.
