This was wonderful. Everyone who tried this one came back for seconds. The chopped tomatos garnish was perfect and just made this dish. I'll be making this one again. Congratulations on a great recipe and good luck in the contest.

Loved that this used up things I already had on hand, I used four cups of broth just to stretch it a little further. Didn't really notice the shrimp flavor, so would add a little fish sauce as another reviewer mentioned.

My family loved this soup. I didn't have Shitake mushroom but it was amazing anyway. I will be making this again.

This is a hearty winter soup and makes a wonderful meal for those who are sick. It is important to remember to remove the ginger because as we found out, had we left the ginger in the casserole, its taste would have overpowered the spinach and shrimp. We added chicken pieces as well to make it a one-dish meal. We also added 2 teaspoons of fish sauce since we didnt have enough shrimp. Thanks Lorac !

Quite enjoyed this soup. I did substitute squid for the shrimp but it had great flavour. The rice gave it some bulk. Thank you for posting
