'Gemüsebrühe' (vegetable stock) is made up of 'Gemüse' (vegetables) and 'Brühe' (stock). The word therefore refers to a stock prepared with vegetables or tasting of vegetables.

The context often shows whether a freshly cooked liquid or an industrially produced seasoning is meant: verbs such as 'kochen' (to cook) and 'abschmecken' (to season to taste) tend to point to the prepared stock, while 'auflösen' (to dissolve) and quantities such as 'ein Teelöffel' (a teaspoon) tend to point to the seasoning.
Ich koche die Gemüsebrühe heute selbst.
I'm making the vegetable stock myself today.
Zwei Teelöffel Gemüsebrühe genügen, wenn man sie in einem halben Liter Wasser auflöst.
Two teaspoons of vegetable stock powder are enough when dissolved in half a liter of water.
In the meaning of a prepared liquid, 'Gemüsebrühe' (vegetable stock) is often used with verbs such as 'kochen' (to cook), 'erhitzen' (to heat), and 'abschmecken' (to season to taste). It is often used as a base for soups, sauces, or risotto.
