DC san, a British expat in Shanghai, asks:
When I ask about chicken soup in my supermarket they just give me this paste. Is there a real chicken soup I can get in China or do I have to make it myself?
It's not even made from chicken!
Well, actually western chicken soup isn't a thing in China. Even if you get a Chinese one in a restaurant, it could be like some broth or that with chicken dices.

You'll never find your comfort soup in China.

So, you're right. You've got to make your own chicken soup.
