Bouillon / Soup Base Powder

Chicken bouillon by the 2-lb tub for the stockpot, the 5-lb pouch for prep day, the cheaper jar when a soup base just needs depth without theater. Bouillon is the shortcut every Thai kitchen denies using and quietly leans on for jok, tom kha, the soup of the day. Cooks swap brands by what the broth needs that morning, not by what a marketing line on the label says.
