Oh, man, I'm with you on the near-impossibility of replacing chicken broth in things. I'm the otherwise mellow, non-annoying vegetarian asking the server, 'Is there chicken broth in the veggie soup?" (tip - the answer is probably yes.)
Should you ever REALLY need that taste I found an acceptable replacement for things like matzoh ball soup and stuffing - in the boxed stock section of larger markets look for Imagine or Pacific (sorry, I am literally too lazy to look up which brand it is but I THINK it's Imagine) "NO-CHICKEN Broth" that's really the name! It's vegetarian and it's not quite as toothsome as chicken broth but it'll get you by in a pinch (and will sit on your shelf forever so it can go in your zombie apocalypse kit).
Also, your pork stock/challah convergence takes me back to that kosher - to - not kosher diner idea...that was fun!
