I opened a 1 litre of ready made chicken stock last Sunday but only used a little of it. I want to use the rest in a soup today. It smells ok. Will it be ok to use, having been opened, in the fridge, for a week?

Who would know? I'd toss it.

Read the label. Does it have a preservative in it? I bet it has. Second, what does it say about use by once opened, on it?
If it has a preservative and has been sitting in the fridge since opening then it will be just fine.

I usually freeze any leftover stocks, gravies and sauces for later use. Easy and no waste.

How wrong could you be old chap, I never throw anything out, too many mouths to feed, I never look at use by dates either. I don't care then, just go ahead and eat it.

Well since you’re no doubt using this in another which is going to be cooked through then I’m pretty sure the stock will be absolutely fine especially if it still smells and tastes ok

If it smells ok and looks ok I would use it.
