Delicious, easy soup recipe. It is pretty much a basic chicken soup recipe, but the flavor is awesome with the ham. 2 1/2 pounds of chicken is plenty. It needs more rice - 1/2 cup is perfect. I like to double the parsely to 2 T.

Lovely....but. It's just chicken soup! With a sexy name and the promise of Brazillian flavours, I was expecting something magical to happen with the chicken, rice, veg and ham. But it just cooked up into a tasty (but regular) chicken soup.

This chicken soup is great! It's a little different from the ordinary, which is just up my alley. I think the fresh parsley is what makes it taste so great. The fresh tomatoes are great, too, better than canned. I follow this recipe exactly, except I don't bother to make sure I have exactly 3 lbs. of chicken. A little less doesn't make any difference. It's just a matter of preference, really, as is the amount of ham. Just don't substitute or leave out the fresh parsley!

Two thumbs up! My subs: I used one pkg of chicken (~1.5 lbs) - this seemed like plenty. I did double up the ham to please my meat-loving fiance. I also subbed a can of diced tomatoes for the fresh (though in retrospect I think the fresh would have been much better.) Overall, I think this soup took almost 2 hours from pot to table. Next time I'll increase the rice and use cilantro for the parsley.

A nice simple soup recipe, I used mini pasta instead of rice and cilantro instead of parsley to make it more Brazilian.

This is one of the best soups ever. I did add 1 can of petite tomato's instead of fresh and even my husband who refuses to anything different tried it and really liked it. Can't say enough about how good it was.
