As far as I am concerned, cilatro tastes like bar soap. This soup works great with ¼-½ cup of just regular, normal parsley. A bottle of dark beer makes it even better (in the soup, that is).

Very, very good. I reduced the brown sugar to ¼ C in both cases and added a generous shot of Maker's Mark. (put some in the sweet potatoes too.) Assumed egg whites were to be beaten to stiff peaks and folded in.

Very authentic results. The cooking technique used allows for endless variety. I made it with B/S thighs - I just like thighs better (& they're much less expensive). I also like it quite spicy so I used 3 garlic cloves and the dash of hot pepper sauce was more like 1½ tablespoons. An unsuspecting Vidalia onion got tossed in just because it was laying around.
