'Bouillon', in
French cuisine, is simply a
broth. This name comes from the verb ''bouillir'', meaning ''to boil''. It is usually made by the simmering of
Mirepoix and aromatic herbs (usually a ''
bouquet garni'') with either
beef,
veal, or
poultry bones in boiling water.
This is not to be confused with
Bouillon (soup), a Haitian soup, or
stock, which is made in a (somewhat) similar manner, but serves an entirely different purpose in French cuisine.
