What is 一個 in Japanese used in context of cooking?


On cookpad.com, it says "chicken broth 一個", even though I'm pretty sure
chicken broth is a liquid... So what does it mean here? A tablespoon, a
teaspoon? An arbitrary figure?

Actual words for reference:

> チキンコンソメ1個




In this context (and many contexts regarding cooking at home), チキンコンソメ1個
refers to _a cube of_ chicken broth -- something like magi bouillon.
