He's looking for a fast runaround to using boxed supermarket broths.
If that's all he's looking for, using ground beef should work just fine because I haven't found one box product that is anything but broth. As far as I'm concerned they're nothing but the cubes or the powder with water added. Making it himself he could control the salt content and not wind up with all the preservatives.
