I think Bellview is the brand I have as well.
Understandable, since we both shop at Giant Eagle.

The higher price reflects the higher quality - the soup base includes actual meat products and not just flavorings. And I believe the soup base makes more cups of stock than the bouillon cubes.
My soup base says 1 tsp per 8 oz water and so does my bullion. The soup base jar was at least twice the size of the bullion, so they are pretty close in price, I think.
How many bouillon cubes are in the jar?
Soup base is yummy but very salty to me, so I still use stock or broth in a box if I need it. I do tend to use the soup bases when I need to stretch homemade gravy though. Pan dripping with the water from potatoes and/or veggies, plus the stock base. I'll add in some flour/water mix to thicken it a bit. Never have lumpy gravy even though I don't do it the traditional way - thanks to my handy whisk!...I used to buy stock in a box, but once I discovered the soup base, I never looked back. I think the flavor is much better.
