  1. How much ginger? You don't add the egg to the pot? The direction aren't very good
     
  2. Just what I needed on a cold day. Love the way I can use shitake mushrooms! I didn't add msg since it doesn't agree with me, but did add a couple of dashes of hot sauce to my soup bowl. Delish! Made for football pool week 17, 2010.
     
  3. Loved this soup, it went together so easy and fast, perfect for those days when you need to get something on the table fast. The only thing I did differant was make my own broth as no cans here and then added cut up pieces of breast of chicken, think it would be good with added tofu also. I was surprised at the method for adding the egg but it worked perfect. A real winning recipe. Made for ZWT #6
