    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/04/2019   I made this soup with half the quantities mentioned for my husband and I, it turned out so delicious. With this recipe you can achieve that thai restaurant like taste and aroma, its so perfect!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/28/2012   Found it bland-would never make again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/01/2010   Love this soup. It gets rave reviews when I serve it. I offer rice on the side for people who want chicken and rice soup for a more filling dish.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/05/2010   I love this soup! It's no fail, you don't need to have all the exact ingredients and it still tastes good! You can use pretty much any chile pepper or onion and sometimes I add rice noodles to it, and I don't strain it. Also I think it's easier to eat if you shred the chicken instead of chunky sliced like in the picture.
