Then whatchoo want wif chicken stock?

Tomato soup is made from tomatoes. You don't need chicken stock. You need some kind of fat, some alcohol, some water, some salt, and some spices. Some other vegetables are good too. Check allrecipes.com or foodtv.com for vegetarian or vegan tomato soup recipes.

By the way, Homeplus has Oxo Cubes, I think.

you can get a big can of chicken stock powder from the place in itaewon. it's around 10k and will last you quite a while. they have okra too. both are great when i feel the need to make some gumbo.

The recipe I use calls for a bit of chicken stock. I've made it before and it's wonderful.

This place has some...

...if you don't mind doing your shopping online...I've seen the same on a couple of other sites. Naver will likely bring up some other hits.

Ah, yes, there you are. A grand total of two flavours available. Guess it's better than none...

Silly boy! Good tomato soup is made with chicken stock. It is even better, in my opinion, made with beef stock. Bacon grease adds a bit more flavor too, when you saute the onions and/or other veggies.

You can always make your own chicken stock by boiling the hell out of a chicken carcass (use one of those smoked chickens you can buy on the street) with some onion, celery and carrots.
