Don't substitute bouillon cubes for chicken stock in cooking, you won't like the results. Chicken stock is made by cooking roasted chicken bones, sometimes in broth, and reducing until there is a flavorful base which is often used for gravies, soup stock and the like. Bouillon cubes on the other hand are intensely salty and the chicken flavor in them is often artificially derived (and it tastes like it, too). There's really no comparison.
Use canned broth if you have to, or commercially produced stock, there are even some reduced soup bases you can buy at places like Smart and Final if you have to, but don't use bouillon instead. The taste is wrong, and its way too salty.

∙ 16y agoWhile they're both the liquid results of boiling animal parts, stock tends to be made with bones and inedible bits, while broth is made by boiling meat. Both can contain vegetation as well, with whole vegetables like celery and onions more common in stock, and simple herbs more common in broth. Stock is often richer in mouth feel because longer cooking time renders more of the connective tissue into Gelatin. It should also set up like a tasty meat Jell-O in the fridge for the same reason.
The terms tend to get used interchangeably, and there are no hard rules, which is why I used such frustrating noncommittal language in the first paragraph.

I use McCormick's All-Vegetable Chicken Bouillon cubes....no meat, but has a nice flavor. They also come in All-Vegetable Beef cubes. They disolve quickly in hot water and can be used anywhere you'd use chicken (or beef) broth.
If a recipe calls for chicken stock can you use chicken broth instead?
Yes. The only difference is the way the broth is simmered. When making broth you use the whole chicken whereas stock you use the bone. The only time it would make a difference is when you are using it to degalze a pan. Unlike broth, stock will bind with the dripping to create a sauce.

Yes - broth is not as rich as stock, which is boiled for hours to extract the most flavor from the meat/bones/vegetables it is made from. That is why broth is typically less expensive than stock. Both can be used to make soup from - but stock will produce a richer flavor than broth.
Diff between good stock and bad stock?
Good question! If the stock is a light golden color, it's ok. If the stock is a dark yellow or brown, don't use. This would be if you are using turkey or chicken broth. If you are working with beef stock, a tan color is ok. If it is a light brown, that's ok as well. If the beef broth is dark brown or a very oddly colored black don't use. Beef broth is darker then turkey or chicken stock.
