Gravy is needed sometimes, but we needn't make it mostly salt. Here is an option that can top any dish. It is a combination of a standard roux-based gravy (but without a stock), and a Bearnaise-like emulsion.
I find that it is not common in our house to have soup stock. The soups I make do not have stock in them, including onion soup and split pea soup. Can-based or bouillon-based stocks have an incredible amount of salt in them, along with other nastiness.
> Typically, the ingredients (of bouillon cubes) consists of salt, hydrogenated fat (trans-fats), monosodium glutamate (MSG), flavor enhancers, and flavors. --Bouillon cubes - Wikipedia
