We absolutely loved this version of chicken noodle soup. It'll be my new favorite, because it's so tasty for so little effort. I used a leftover rotisserie carcass, so my meat wasn't all pretty and julienned, but it was delicious and thrifty nonetheless. I served with lemon juice to splash in at the table. Thanks for the recipe!

I used powdered chicken bouillon and it was WAY too salty, even when no more salt was added at the end. I will try unsalted chicken bouillon (if such a thing exists), only add half as much of the bouillon, or canned broth next time. Ended up simmering it with a washed and peeled potato to remove some of the salt. Other than the saltiness, it was delicious!

Before I added the noodles, it was exactly like the soup I eat and LOVE at the Japanese Hibachi restaurants! Thanks a bunch!

I've made this soup 4 times now. Its amazing and simple. I made a few changes this most recent time that I was pleased with. I switched out the lemon for a lime. I actually just cut it up into quarters and stuck the whole thing in to get more of the lime juice and more of an intense flavor. I also omitted the the parsley and upped the mint. White pepper is a MUST.

the flavors of lemon and mint in this soup are perfect in this soup. the only thing i added was a dash of garlic powder to the broth. and at the end i used the juice of about 3/4 of a lemon. does anyone know if this is an authentic portuguese soup? the only ones i have heard of before have kale and chourico or linguica.

The lemon and mint are a nice twist to a comfort classic. I served with a crispy baguette. Mmmmm....so good dipped in the sour broth. A definite Sunday afternoon must-try.
