This was a big hit. I added snap peas and substituted the water for chicken broth.

Wonderful soup. I was amazing at the amount flavor, but not at all overpowering. My family and I loved it!!! Even my mother, whose isn't a big fan of fresh ginger. I served it with eggrolls and a simple vegitable stirfry. I will most certainly make this soup again.

We love this soup! I've made it twice now and it was perfect each time. I followed the advice of the other reviewers and substituted chicken broth for the water and added some fresh garlic. Delicious!

Excellent recipe after 'tweaking' a bit - instead of water, I used Asian soy ginger broth which I believe added a needed kick, and low fat coconut milk. This is not a spicy Thai soup, but still is very flavorful and super easy. Will definitely make again.

I found this soup to be quite bland. I tried adding red chiles and extra fish sauce to spice it up, when that didn't work I threw in heaps of garlic and fresh basil--still didn't have much flavor. I also added onions to the vegetable stip stage. Maybe I did something wrong, but I wouldn't recommend this recipe as is.

This is something I would make again. I think it would compliment any Asian dinner. I subbed chicken broth for the water, but I think it may have taken away from some of the coconut flavor. I also left out the fish sauce as I don't like fish sauce. Next time I will also dice the chicken because long strips were hard to eat in a soup. Other than that I think the recipe is great.
