I made this as directed, only doubled it. I really liked it, but my husband didn't finish his bowl and said "I'm glad you like it- you have lots of leftovers to eat." He said he didn't like the stalks of the bok choy (I left them chopped in large pieces), and said he didn't like the lime taste in it. I however, really liked it- I will chop the stalks smaller like celery next time, and maybe add a cooked chopped chicken breast, and maybe some red pepper flakes. I also will just sprinkle the chopped green onions on top before serving along with the cilantro, as the freshness of the green onion disappeared after it was cooked. I also added fresh cracked black pepper over the top. I will make this again for myself- only not doubling it next time :). 2nd review- This time I chopped the bok coy stems smaller, added 1 chopped yellow onion, 1 red pepper and 1 green pepper, 1 seeded jalapeno, 4 inner stalks of celery and leaves, chopped, sauteed in olive oil, and added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. turmeric powder, skipped the cilantro and put chopped parsley on top. Did not add any lime juice. Delicious!
I made some changes... instead of regular bok choy, I used Shanghai bok choy. They are smaller and more tender. Find them at the Asian grocery. I cut the mushrooms medium sized how I like them. Instead of chicken broth, I used vegetable stock since I am vegetarian. I used granulated garlic, ground ginger; ground onion, parsley, and Italian seasoning in the soup. I did not use cilantro. I also added cayenne pepper because I like spice. I added a little pink salt and black pepper as well. As for the lime, I only added a few drops and taste it as it cooked. That way too much wouldn’t be put it and over power the soup because like isn’t a favorite of mine. This way it was adjusted to my tastes and very good.
One of our Absolute Favorites!!! We buy high quality mushrooms (not just the usual white caps) and use bone broth to make this soup.... it feels like one of the healthiest / most restorative foods that our family eats! I actually feel energized after eating it.... so I think that's a good sign.
This was excellent. I only omitted the cilantro and put the green onions on top when it was done. I am on a keto diet so I added some heavy cream at the end. Will definitely make this again.
One of my favorite soups to make! And you can't really mess it up!
This soup is absolutely delicious and very easy to make! The only change I would make is to add more vegetables. I had to send this recipe to my friends who raved about it when I made it for a quick lunch on a cold day.
Initially I thought this was an odd combination of ingredients, but the end result was delicious! Can't wait to try the variations other reviewers suggested, like rice noodles, glass noodles or chicken.
My favorite new soup!! I added small pieces of pork loin to it to make it a full meal! Yummm... I made it 3 times in one week.
I made the soup for six serving when it s only for me and my mom....so delicious! All the flavors come together very well. Highly recommend.
Very bland and I tried hard to spice it up.
