Excellent! made it as is, although did not have tumeric. Really nice in a bowl on rice.

I'm not sure how I feel about this recipe. I didn't like it initially, but it kind of grew on me half way through the bowl. I did add sugar like some other reviewers suggested, as well as lemongrass. My husband liked it. He thought it tasted like those frito-lay hint of lime tortilla chips. I don't know if I'll make it again. It probably has nothing to do with the recipe though. I've never had the soup before in a Thai restaurant, either.

I made this this weekend and my only complaint is I should have made a double batch!!! I love making stews and soups and this is the fastest I have ever seen something disappear. A taste explosion was the shared response.

This tastes exactly like the soup we loved at our favorite Thai restaurant. This soup is going into my regular meal rotation. We sent a bowl to our neighbor, and he called back 15 mintues later proclaiming it was the best chicken soup he had ever tasted. If you like Thai food, you should try this soup!

Not a bad start, but as many people have noted this recipe needs significant alteration.

Just excellent. I had about 1.5lb chicken breast that I cooked with some lime/garlic seasoning and then chopped very small. I used the lemon zester to grate a large hunk of fresh ginger into the pot. It needed a few cloves of crushed garlic, quite a moderate amount of cayanne, and I didn't have mushrooms so I diced up a few stalks of celery and sauteed in the same pot I cooked the chicken in, until they were soft. It needed noodles, I used rice sticks but they had a funky texture. Today Guido is taking care of me (I just broke a toe) and he boiled up some egg noodles. It's really good. Oh, I thin sliced 1 jalapeno, in that went, and I used chicken stock and some extra chicken stock base. It's missing lemon grass but who cares, it's VERY good.

My husband and I love Thai food and have had this soup at several great Thai restaurants in Atlanta. As always, before using a recipe, I read reviews. Based on many reviews, I doubled the lime juice and added sugar. I also increased the cayenne a bit. My husband and I BOTH loved this soup. It was simple (other than having to run to the grocery to get "fish sauce") and quick. Highly recommended. We will definitely add this one to our "delish" box.

Made this recipe without the fish sauce, green onions and turmeric. I was skeptical, because it didn't call for lemon grass, which is traditionally called for and because I lacked the above mentioned ingredients, but boy was it yummy. This is better than I've had at restaurants. A definite keeper. Thanks for the recipe!
