Exotic flavors add pungency and depth to this hearty wintery soup. This is by far the best recipe I have ever invented. This soup refrigerates marvelously.

I am giving this delicious soup 5 stars even though I changed it somewhat. Used chicken stock instead of beef as I don't use beef. Did not have enough barley so used half barley and half brown rice which worked just fine. I used 1 T. of coriander and 1/2 cup of rice wine vinegar thinking I could add more of each if needed but was so good I stopped at that amount. Great soup thanks! Read More

Yuck. I'm sad that I used so many ingredients. I could only eat a half a bowl. I think it could've been a good soup if the rice wine had been left out. Read More

This was delicious all I changed (only b/c of lack of ingredients) was that I added 3 hot Italian Sausages because I only had 10 oz of Turkey and I added 2 1/4 C 1/4 white vinegar as I didn't have any Chinese Rice Wine. My 4 year old thought it was delicious as well! Read More

I followed the recipe except I used Japanese rice wine instead of Chinese. I'm sure it makes for a different flavor but we did like the soup. I was worried with all the leek and onion that it would be too strong but surprisingly it wasn't. My husband said the coriander was strong and I thought the sake was strong. We might make this one again it was fun trying something unique. Read More

it wasn't too bad......way too much rice wine vinegar. I put a fourth of the suggested amount and still tasted way too strong. Read More

For such simple ingredients this was very flavorful. I omitted the turkey and used veg broth and I halved the broth rice wine (I used sake) and coriander. Nice and hearty! Read More

Super easy recipe. I used sausage instead of ground turkey and it came out rich and delicious. I didn't have the rice wine and I don't think the dish missed it. This is just a basic arrangement of classic flavors. Read More
