What a find! For dietary reasons, using purchased bouillon cubes are not an option for me. This is from Angela Papaiz who contributed to the Brazilian Children's Fund Cookbook. Prep time depends on how fast you chop. LOL I will over estimate on my timing.

2 trays (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cups celery, minced
3 cups carrots, minced
2 onions, minced
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 lb ground beef

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan without any liquid.
2
Cook over very low heat, covered, for 1 hour.
3
Place contents into a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
4
Pour into ice cube trays and freeze.
5
Use a cube of bouillon to enhance the flavor of gravy or soup.

This is a great find. I omitted the salt because I felt the carrots had enough to compensate. Another step for a low salt diet. I use the cubes when I don't have low salt bouillon cubes. Thanks GinnyP for this recipe.
