AS A DIABETIC I LOOK FOR ANYTHING I CAN COOK AND EAT WITHOUT WORRYING. THIS IS AT THE TOP OF MY LIST, I DID ADD A FEW CLOVES OF GARLIC, AND USED REGULAR ONIONS. AND CHANGED THE EGG NOODLES TO WHOLE WHEAT NOODLES DUE TO THE DIEABITIES. BUT A STILL GREAT RECIPE. I WILL MAKE THIS OFTEN

Great soup ! I used a small chopped onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp. ground ginger and regular hot sauce.

I love this recipe. I didn't have leeks so I used onions. Next time I'll try leeks to see if it changes the taste much. I used 3/4 head of cabbage because a whole one seemed like too much. I also added a few cloves of garlic. Yum!

This was very easy to make, a nice healthy choice, and the Thai Chili sauce added just the right zest. I also used rice noodles. Will definitely make this again.

This was pretty good...my first time trying anything with leeks! I think it tastes best with half regular green cabbage and half Chinese napa cabbage. I used at least 2 tablespoons of chile sauce, which I added just after the noodles. I may cut back on the amount of noodles next time because after a day or two they absorbed all the juice. I'll continue making this recipe from time to time. **UPDATE** It's been a couple of years since I made this soup and now I've tried it again and made additional discoveries. First, if you're using spicy garlic sauce, two teaspoons will suffice and add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. If you're using sweet garlic sauce, use 1 tablespoon and add a dash or two cayenne pepper. Secondly, to avoid loosing all the broth to the noodles, cook the noodles separately, then add them to the soup after the cabbage is just about tender, plus an additional cup of broth and 1 cup of water. Trust me; you'll love it!

My husband loved it. If it is well shredded into very small shreds, the cabbage almost disappears so vegetable-haters will not even know it it there, and it sweetens the broth. I used Thai chile paste and green and sweet onions because I did not have chile sauce or leeks. It was very mild and tasty. Not at all spicy-hot.

I used homemade chicken broth. It needed more flavor using this broth. Plus I think there was not enough broth and too much noodles. It was not soupy enough. The taste was ok.

Made this tonight for the first time and ate two bowls (no guilt either)! Didn't have leeks so just used a chopped onion. Also added a little garlic & 1/2 bay leaf. For something so simple, it's really good. I will definitely make this again.

Made this to-night and my husband who says he doesn't care for regular chicken soup gave this five stars.Used chicken thighs, savoy cabbage, zuchinni and sweet Thai chili sauce. It really was the best!

This didn't seem really Thai-ish to me except for the chile sauce at the end. So I added a small stalk of lemon grass that I whacked with my rubber mallet to crush it a bit, and a few kaffir lime leaves to the broth while it simmered. I also added a teaspoon full of something called "Hot Spice Powder" which I picked up at our local international market. The ingredient list is: white pepper, salt, spice; so I'm not really sure what all is in it, but it tasted good in the soup. I used about a cup of teeny, tiny, skinny Fideo noodles. The result was delicious. DH put too much chile sauce in his serving, and complained about the heat, but that was his own silly fault. We both really liked this. Will definitely make it again. Oh, and I removed the lemon grass and lime leaves before serving. Thanks for the recipe!

I have to go back to making sure I read all the reviews before I start cooking - again I was in a rush and followed the recipe exactly. Big MISTAKE. It calls for too much noodles as others did say. I cooked it to have for the following day so it looked alright when I put it in the refrigerator. The next day when I took it out to serve there was NO broth in the pot - the noodles absorbed ALL of it. Had to add 32 more oz. of broth to the pot. The following day I took out the leftovers and again there was NO more broth. There was no way I was going to waste money and add MORE broth so I just put it in bowls, heated it up and passed around some soy sauce for the top. I think we enjoyed it that way better than with the broth. I also agree with others that it is on the bland side - I tripled the amount of chile sauce.

Absolutely delicious ! It was more like Vietnamese Pho (noodle soup) then Thai food. I skipped the noodles completely, though. I didn't want the carbs or the calories. As a huge fan of Pho, I didn't miss the noodles at all ! The cabbage substituted nicely. As the stock boiled down, I did add about 1 1/2 cups of water. This did not diminished the flavor at all. I shredded the chicken instead of dicing it. I also added diced jalapeno, an extra tablespoon of Thai chili sauce & topped with mung bean sprouts (like served with Pho). I topped off with Sricacha sauce (I aptly call "rooster sauce" due to the rooster on the bottle.) I don't think I will ever want the sodium or carbs/calories of vietnamese noodle soup ever again. Next time, I will also added shredded fresh basil to garnish.

This is my favorite chicken soup! I make it all the time and everyone always loves it! If I don't have the Thai chili sauce I opt for Tabasco sauce.

I was so excitee about this recipe and so terribly disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly. It was completely bland. I couldn't add enough of the Thai sauce--but there was still no flavor, only heat. Family felt the same way. Who can figure?

I did half the carrots and half the cabbage.... Also, I couldn't find "thai chili sauce" at my local rural store, so I settled with Garlic chili sauce... It turned out great. My sickey toddler's runny nose cleared up right away with the spice. Nice rainey day recipe!

This is a very good soup. I did not have leeks on hand and had to use onions instead but I would love to try it with leeks. Also, I follow a gluten free diet so I used thick thai rice noodles instead of egg noodles. The rice noodles were perfect with this soup and great for leftovers as well because they do not soak up the broth. We will make again!

Very good, healthy and easy. Love it.
