Hubby thought 5 stars, I thought 4, but this is a keeper. I did not strain the onions and ginger out of the broth because I bought cubed stew meat and it was too hard. It actually works out fine to do this, so long as your ginger pieces aren't too big to start with. I couldn't fit the 4 cups of water into my crock pot. I substituted 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice Powder for the star anise. I used 16 oz baby bella mushrooms as my store didn't have anything more exotic. I also cooked a box of rice noodles directly in the soup as it was very brothy for my liking. I will make this again!
