"Appropriate for Phase I. In later phases, you can add cooked soba noodles. Substitute chopped scallions if you don't like cilantro."

I am not sure what happened. I didn't have any broth and the flavor is definitely missing something.

I made this soup all the time and it is a family favorite. I do add more broth with added chicken bouillon cubes. I also prefer more lime zest, cilantro and ginger. I just love this soup!

I really enjoyed this soup as it tastes just like a soft spring roll from any Thai restaurant. Even my hubby, who initially thought it wouldn't be so good, ate 2 bowls of it! I followed the recipe as it was written, other than using homemade chicken broth instead of low-sodium, and i wouldn't change anything next time I make it.
