First Parish Bouillon Recipe

This is the recipe for bouillon currently used at First Parish.

  1. Pour one large (46 fluid ounces) can of tomato juice into a large stainless steel soup pot.

  2. Using the can as a measure, pour in 6 full cans of tap water.

  3. Bring to a boil. Add 32 beef bouillon cubes. Stir to dissolve.

  4. Turn the gas down low. Do Not Boil from here on.

  5. Add 5 more cans of tomato juice, 1 cup of sugar, 8 cinnamon sticks, and 1 tea ball full of cloves (hooked together with a baggie twist-tie).

  6. Steep for at least one hour (two is better - it gets more fragrant).

  7. Add another can of water if it’s looking too thick or you need more.
