Usage Note
Bouillon is the classic French cooking base — a clear liquid made by simmering meat, fish, or vegetables. Un bouillon de légumes is vegetable stock; un bouillon cube is a stock cube. Historically, les bouillons were 19th-century Parisian working-class restaurants serving cheap broth and hearty dishes, a concept recently revived in Paris.
