I haven't tried it, but I am Swedish and I want to offset the 1 star review. I suspect Rosemary hasn't tried it either. I hate to see senseless ratings based upon close-minded opinion rather than actual taste testing. I will try them with the Italian bread crumbs. Also, Gross and definitely are spelled as I have shown here.

This works well in the crock pot too. Use 1 1/2 quarts of water, and what's nice is you can just put in 1 - 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice. Now for a magical ingredient to try. Some of you will think it's a bit out of character for this soup, but definitely adds something. I had a half bag of rather stale corn tortilla chips. I threw them in a bowl of the soup and let them soak it up for a couple minutes. WOW! Try it yourself! Loved the soup, this is just another thing to try with it. It could use just a bit less coconut milk in my opinion, since it tends to dominate the flavor. I sauteed the chicken, garlic, peppers and such in balsamic vinegar with the curry powder to impart more flavor to the chicken. Added the coconut milk and cilantro about 10 minutes before serving and also added chopped scallions/green onions for more color.

After reading the reviews it seemed expedient to cut-up the green peppers and just throw them into the pot with everything else. Also, added curry powder, Mixed Italian herbs, fresh button mushrooms, Thai hot chili sauce, black pepper, omitted the black beans (mine were getting furry in the fridge), lime juice, a red chili pepper and lots of fresh garlic. Forgot to add fresh ginger, but it would also add some flavor. This is extremely spicy, but that's the way I like it! Thanks for the recipe, it was a great beginning for a tasty dish.
