Expert Tips Here's some "broth math" to help you if don't have any ready-to-serve beef broth on hand.

You can use three 10 1/2-ounce cans of condensed beef broth with 2 1/2 soup cans of water or 7 cups of your homemade beef broth.

Or add 7 cups of water with 7 beef bouillon cubes or 2 heaping tablespoons of beef bouillon granules.
