We really liked this. Very fresh tasting. I used frozen turkey I had leftover from Thanksgiving, and I would use turkey again. I forgot the pea pods, but didn't miss them. I couldn't taste the ginger. I topped mine with crushed tortilla chips and a dollop of plain yogurt. DH ate his with chips on the side. Both us had 2 big servings and can't wait to have it for lunch tomrrow. A very different type of soup for us. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I am rating just from taste testing while still cooking. We don't have the pea pods or bean sprouts so may just throw some other vegies in. I am guessing the fat content in the nutrition facts is high due to the chicken thighs. I deskinned mine so not sure if the numbers would still apply.
