Comments
This type of soup recipe was nothing like anything I have made before and it ended up being such a tasty combination of flavors. I had it as leftovers and ended up adding some spinach on one day and precooked rice on another day that I needed to use up, and it tasted just as good. It was also super easy to put together, so I definitely will be making this again and again!
This was such a wonderful combination of flavors. I will definitely make it again.
I made this for a local food bank audience to sample. It was a simple recipe to scale up and most folks really enjoyed the flavors. A few people commented that it was too spicy so I might suggest leaving out some of the red pepper flakes if preparing for a mixed audience. When I make this at home I include frozen green peas and top with a handful of toasted cashews and some golden raisins. It's a favorite!
Very good. Tomatoes and chicken add extra flavor. Next time I am going to add some extra chopped peanuts for even more flavor.
