That is a brand name product that is 100% MSG. You can buy MSG (Monosodium glutamate) at most grocery stores (usually in the asian/ethnic foods section), but it wouldn't be my first suggestion to make soup taste better. Have you tried a shaker of herbs/spices that you like? I have a shaker with garlic powder, onion powder & a little bit of homemade lemon pepper that I use on almost everything. Look up umami & see if any of the foods appeal to you, parmesean cheese would be another suggestion I'd put out there!

I am not sure about locally. You can get it through amazon and have it shipped to Canada. Its a little pricey at 26.00 a canister though.  
 
If you cannot find it locally and don't want to go the online route, Id be willing to help you out with that part.

Bulk Barn has a great deal of unusual flavoured spices.  
 
I eat chickpeas every day, they are bland.  
 
Spice them up with Coconut Thai, Pulled Pork, Smoked Paprika, Sriracha, Teriyaki, Butter Chicken, Shawarma, Mexican, Italian, Jerk, Tandoori... the list goes on. Never the same taste twice and all done with a few grains of seasoning.  
 
If you can get to Bulk Barn I would go there.

You can get it at Hedley's in the mall. Hubby likes it.

I've seen the particular stuff you're asking about at Co-op in Virden, so Brandon's Co-op might also have it.

give this a try, my family have been using it in soups and pasta for decades

It's available locally in different stores.  
a few drops per bowl is all that's needed

I assume you have tried table salt and a bit of pepper?  
 
Usually food in care homes is made with health in mind, unfortunately not taste lol, so they go light on the salt, which isnt a bad thing but before you go to msg, which is a flavor enhancer, thats one reason packaged goods use it, id try salt and pepper and one mrs dash or other herb mixes, better for you

400mg of sodium per tsp. If you have high blood pressure this is something you should not be eating, and if you don't have HBP, you soon may. This stuff may taste good, but it is horrible for you. Soya Sauce has 291 mg per tsp. Fresh, or dried herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, chilies, dill, are a healthier way to start.
