Rob, thank you for your excellent submission. Based on the reviews, I altered this recipe quite a bit, and it was probably one of the best soups I have ever made, no doubt. I started by making this on the stovetop. I sauteed the veggies in veg oil, then added the curry powder. I added 64 oz reduced sodium broth, and then added the other spices. No poultry sesoning, so in it's place I just added a pinch of rosemary and marjoram. I did add the full amount of cayene, but did not add the pepper. I used prepared chicken breast chunks, only about 6 oz, let simmer for about 3 hours on low, and then added about 8 oz thin thai rice noodles. Simmered for about 10 minutes to let the noodles cook. It was perfectly spicy this way. The combination of the curry and sage is fantastic. Thank you for a great base to a new keeper!

This soup has loads of flavor that I think would be great on a cold day or if you are a bot congested. I omitted the rice noodles so maybe that had something to do with the high concentration of flavors however I enjoyed the spicyness of the cayane pepper. I reccommend reducing the cooking time as the chicken was tough after the reccomended cook time of 8 hours on low. If I choose to make this soup again, I would only cook it for 3 or 4 hours.

At first, the combination of the spices seem wierd and doesn't taste quite right,but after you put in the noodles, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice into the soup and it is PERFECT! Love it, great for Febuary!

Overall it was just "okay". I agree with others, the spices were a bit odd. I am not sure I liked the poultry seasoning. Only 1 out of 4 in the family liked it. :(

the key word here is spicy! i like things hot and usually have to kick it up a notch but not this one. if you can't take the heat reduce the cayenne pepper. otherwise i didn't change a thing and it was very good. HTH

This soup was very spicy--and I like pretty spicy food. I had to add two more cans of broth. As others have written, this was a very odd combination of spices. Although edible, I won't make it again.

Not terrible, but not great, either. I reduced the quantity of spices per other reviews, and the soup was still quite hot. However, for something with that many different spices in it, it seemed almost bland. I think the spices just didn't blend well, at least for my tastes.

This was a good soup. I put the noodles in at the end but, way way to many noodles and not enough broth. Next time will half the noodles. But, over all very good.

Very good and spicy. I didn't have a red pepper so I used a green jalapeño pepper instead and it turned out very very good. It had just the right amount of spice. I only cooked my soup for like an hour and a half b/c I only made a serving for 4, but it still turned out good. I seriously don't know why this recipe has so many bad reviews. It's a good recipe.

I love spicy dishes so I decided to try this one. It was good, not great and I made some adjustments. First, I added 2 more cups of chicken broth because there wasn't enough liquid. I wouldn't recommend the whole onion chopped, maybe half. There was too much curry-next time I would cut it in half-I didn't even add the red chile pepper and my mouth was on fire when I first tried it! I used fine no yolk egg noodles instead of the rice noodles, which I cooked separately to avoid the starchy taste. Also, I recommend cutting the oregano in half too-dried spices are too much. I will make this again, but not with too much curry or oregano. The soup was good overall.

I found this soup a little too spicy for my taste, but I will try it again with the spices cut back. Instead of adding the noodles to the slow cooker I placed some soup in a pot and cooked them separately, this makes the leftovers much better (noodles don't turn to mush).

This soup was great! Suggestions: 1. break up the noodles before adding to crock pot 2. I used 1/2 the amt of celery 3. Next time I'll add a bit of cabbage 1/2 way through 4. I left out the curry - it isn't allowed in my kitchen. Very, very good recipe -- the whole family loved it! Can't wait to try the leftovers.

This is a very good easy soup, although it has many ingredients it is simple and also pretty light. I substituted paprika for the cayenne pepper. I could not find a red chile so I used a jalepeno, also I broke the noodles into 1" pieces.

My family LOVED this soup. The first time I made it I used the rice noodles and thought they were alittle too much, so the second time I used thin egg noodles and enjoyed it more. Was really very good.

I bought julienned vegetables at the grocery store so preparation was extremely easy. My family liked the finished product a great deal, but I thought it tasted like a jazzed up version of ramen.
