I agree. I too have used bullion. One of the things that my other Granny used at her restaurant was soup base. Very satisfactory results, and I always keep a year's supply on hand. Have you ever tried it? It is not liquid or paste, it has been dehydrated.
No, have not had soup base. Is it a powder? I may have seen that at Sams - think I saw a bottle that said soup base or something like that.
