Even my meat and potatoes husband really enjoyed this soup! It was a nice change from the everyday kind of meal in our house! I did use more broth and used sugar in place of the rice wine. YUMMY!!

This soup was really good and hearty! I added more broth and I also added about a tablespoon or two of sri racha hot sauce (the one with the rooster on the label), this extra spice gave it the kick it needed. Delicious!

This is really good. I scaled the recipe down to serve 3, and I wound up doubling the liquid it called for. I also doubled the amount of garlic and it still wasn't enough for me so I'll add more next time. This was just wonderful to use the mushroom assortment I got at the store today. I, too, was perplexed as to the mushroom-hating reviewer.

Having just purchased a beautiful assortment of mushrooms, I wanted to make mushroom soup and found this recipe. I usually have to majorly doctor up recipes for taste, but this one is good. The soup is so versitle, so my changes were minor--Used shrimp instead of chicken and added hot sauce. Also used more broth. I am living in China at the moment and this is as good as I've eaten in any restaurant.

I omitted the chicken and used tofu instead. Also left out the soy sauce but it still has good flavor (just add a little extra garlic and ginger)

This was delicious! My husband said it was "awesome," which is rare. A helpful tip - use a bag of packaged coleslaw to cut down on prep time with the carrot and cabbage!

This was very good. I wouldn't hesitate to serve it to company. It tasted like the soups served in Japanese restaurants. I made it with dried and rehydrated shiitake mushrooms I had cooked a few days earlier and left soaking in broth (4 cups water, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce). I used the shiitake broth (not chicken broth) to make this soup. The shiitake mushrooms were "meaty", so I could have easily turned this recipe into a vegetarian soup by leaving out the chicken. I will do that next time I need a good, interesting lunch to serve vegetarian friends.

This is definately one of my favorite recipes. It's a good soup for when you're sick. It's so quick to make yet there is so much to this soup. You can also get creative with your choice of mushrooms. I agree; however, that it needs more broth. I doubled the broth. I also enjoy it topped off with some sriracha.

Outstanding! I modified it to account for what I had on hand. Swiss chard instead of cabbage, crimini mushrooms, and no chicken. I also added a splash of chili oil and a splash of sesame oil.

Finally a REALLY healthy soup! The first time I made it, it was a little sweet from the Mirin. I left out the mirin this time. Used organic vegetable broth this time, too. Also, added enoki, portabello, shitake and oyster mushrooms. Instead of cabbage, we used baby bok choy. Fresh udon noodles from the refrigerated section of the asian store. Added a teaspoon of red pepper flakes and it was perfect! I hope "all recipes.com" gets more of these health-conscious recipes.

I used all of the original ingredients, but used shrimp instead of chicken. I, also, used a dash of MSG. I loved this recipe. It was easy, tasty, and healthy.

This had a really good flavor but I did not like the texture that the pasta added to it (I had no udon noodles and use regular pasta) I would say if you are going to make this go the extra mile and get all the right (original) ingredients.

We loved this soup. It probably deserves 4.5 stars. I used enoki mushroom and udon noodles from the asian market. It was more of a stew than a soup. It made a lot and we had it for 2 dinners and several lunches and I froze the leftovers.

Yummy, and super easy. I didn't have any cabbage or spinach, so I substituted broccoli and rainbow card. It was really good! The broth is very good, I will be making this healthy and easy recipe again!!

I thought this was good. I love mushrooms. Just curious as to why someone who says they do not like mushrooms would make mushroom soup? And then rate this?
