These tiny cubes are a no-no for your health! “Adding bouillon cubes seems like a great shortcut to enhance the flavor of homemade soups, but they’re nothing more than sugar, fat, hydrolyzed soy protein, salt, and often MSG,” cautions Pine.
“One way to know that you’re buying a bouillon or soup base, which is a better choice is to look at the ingredient list. The first ingredient should be actual chicken, beef, seafood, or veggies. Or, skip the bouillon and use reduced-sodium chicken broth,” she adds.
