This recipe rocks! I've had the flu for a few days now and made this recipe earlier today. It is so good and the ginger is great for the tummy problems. I doubled the recipe and made it with a whole chicken instead of breasts I think it gives much better flavor to the broth. Besides that I only added more celery because I love it. Thanks for the great recipe!
This was a great tasting soup especially when one has a cold. Every time one of my kids has a cold I make chicken soup. Saw this one while browsing today and thought it would be a perfect cold-buster. Not only did both of my kids (sick) love it and eat multiple helpings my husband and I (healthy) thought it was awesome too. I did scale back the ginger and garlic by not adding it at the end because I figured my daughter wouldn't appreciate it - she did say it was a little ginger strong - but I thought a bit more would have been a perfect finish. One thing I changed was I used 2/3 chicken "Better than Bullion" and 1/3 beef "Better than Bullion" because it was what I had on hand. Still was quite tasty and will make it again.
Absolutely loved this soup! I added shredded cabbage thighs instead of breasts and four kaffir lime leaves. If I had cold symptoms they're gone now.
Absolutly love this recipe. Thanks!
As far as chicken soup goes this is one of the best I've ever tasted. Normally I feel like chicken soup is either much too bland and watery or way too salty. This one isn't salty at all but instead has a nice fairly powerful ginger and rosemary flavor. The recipe as written makes a huge batch of soup. My husband and I each had a bowl for dinner my baby had a baby-sized bowl I froze half of the remaining batch in ice cube trays to serve my son for lunch in the future and there is still plenty for at least a day or two of lunches for me and my husband.
Awesome Awesome Awesome only thing I changed was no kohlrabi and chicken broth instead of water.
Made this for my sick husband who absolutely loved it. I used a rotisserie chicken instead starting with raw chicken breasts but everything else was the same as the recipe. He said his cold symptoms seemed to subside enough to be able to fall asleep. He had some for breakfast the next day and said it tasted even better than the day before. I highly recommend for the sick and the healthy. Very tasty soup!
This soup is awesome! My entire family loved it! I made only a few changes: did not use kohlrabi as my grocer did not carry it used Demerara sugar in place of white sugar and I substituted Chicken Broth for the bouillon and water. I will definitely make this again!
The wine lemon and probably the ginger too is just too overpowering. I couldn't taste anything else.
