  1. This soup is awesome, super and very authentic! We truly enjoyed it. Only comment I will make is that the soup is very light and would either be great as a 1st course or together with another dish. Or you could add glass noodles for more substance. I will for sure be making this again, thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I wa asking for a CLEAR. soup, this recipe has too many ingredients which shoukd be removed once their flavour is released into the broth.
     
  3. Great flavors! I subbed baby bella mushrooms for the dried mushrooms, subbed red pepper flakes for the fresh chile, and served the soup over leftover white rice. Tagged for the For Your Consideration game on 4foodfriendsandfun.yuku.com ~
