Converting bouillon to broth is simple.
Four(4) tablespoons is equal to 1/4 cup.
A bouillon cube is 1 teaspoon - there are three(3) teaspoons in a tablespoon.
Therefore, 12 teaspoons in a 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons)
It actually depends on the strength you desire you broth to be. The usual recipe is 1 teaspoon of bouillon plus one cup of hot water. Using 1/4 cup of bouillon, you would need 12 cups of water more or less, depending on how strong or weak you want you broth. Unless you have a specific recipe that calls for this much bouillon, I suggest you try using one(1) tablespoon at a time with 2-1/2 cups of water (adding more water afterwards), until you find the taste you're desiring.

Basically, beef broth that has had all the water boiled away. I do not know enough to explain in more detail but bouillon is essentially a "just-add-water" broth.
Use regular beef broth which you have cooked down in a pan to half its original volume. Alternatively, use a beef bouillon powder or paste (Bovril, Better-Than-Bouillon, etc.) diluted with half the recommended amount of water. You’ll need to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe too if you do this.
Both beef and chicken cubes are a great way to add the flavor of beef or chicken broth to your dish without having to make a full pot of broth. They are also a quick and easy option if you only need a small amount of broth for your recipe. AustralianBoneBroth
beef bouillon
Physically yes. There isn't very much of a chemical difference between the two (i.e. your dish won't explode if you substitute beef for chicken). However, your dish will taste very different, as beef broth is generally heavier and saltier tasting.
I like bouillon.
Each bouillon cube will make one cup of broth. So to make one cup of broth, you'll only need one cube. If your recipe calls for more than one cup of broth, just add a cube for each cup it calls for. Make sure you avoid adding extra salt to the recipe until you've tasted it, as bouillon cubes are often on the salty side due to the concentration of the flavor.
Another name for Bouillon, in French cuisine, is simply a broth, or clear soup. The best translation into English is 'stock', which is what any recipe will call for. You need to specify the base : beef, chicken, fish, etc.
To make one quart of chicken broth, use 4 cups of water to 4 teaspoons of chicken bouillon. I would use a little more water to account for evaporation. In my experience, the broth made from bouillon is a bit on the salty side. If a recipe calls for more salt, I would wait and taste the dish before adding more.
Substitutes for cubed beef stock include: 1) Fresh beef stock (boil beef bones in salted water, with a few fresh vegetables and seasonings) 2) Beef stock concentrate 3) Frozen beef stock (available in some gourmet shops) 4) Canned beef stock
it takes 10...trust me...it tastes really good when it has an extra kick of beef bouillon...[= Cans come in different sizes. A small can of condensed (aka concentrated) broth is about 12 ounces (1.5 cups). To make 12 ounces of condensed broth, dissolve 3 bouillion cubes in 1.5 cups of boiling water.
Bouillon powder is a concentrated seasoning made from dehydrated vegetables, meat, and seasonings. It is used to add flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes by dissolving it in hot water. Bouillon powder is a convenient alternative to homemade stock and often comes in different flavors such as chicken, beef, and vegetable.
