Bouillon, consommé, soup, vegetable, even vegan stock?
And by whose final and absolute authority do we take any definition as
unconditional?

To tell someone they cant make a stock from bones and water is as much

A bouillon and/or a consommé perhaps might be argued with more fervency
by certain fanatics, but the English language term "stock" covers a
multitude of errors
