A delightful soup, and so easy to make. I followed the recipe as written, using a homemade Chinese-inspired chicken stock. The Asian flavours didn't come through quite enough for me. In future, I'll up the amount of ginger and add some fish sauce or more chili. That said, it was pure comfort food and really delicious. Thanks Rita.
