Why are you freezing chicken stock to make beef soup? I'm just
curious.

Have you checked your local Rubbermaid or Lock 'n Lock source, like a
big-box store or a supermarket? It seems I can find all kinds of
smallish containers with lids. Once the stock is frozen in an upright
state, they don't even need to be leak-proof. I know for a fact that
Ziploc makes 1 Cup round containers.

As to icecube trays, once the stock is frozen in cubes, dump them all
into a plastic bag that can be air-tight-sealed, and then you can just
take out one cube, or 6 cubes at a time.
