I’m glad you made it your own, Jess!

I altered it as follows:
– Used only 1.5 lbs of chicken and cut into smaller cubes rather than cooking, trying to take out amongst vegetables and shredding
– Used 8 cups of chicken stock I had already made
– Left out cabbage
– Added one can coconut milk, lime, and a small bit of coconut sugar
– added egg noodles

Exquisite! Thanks for the base!

Horrible recipe had to alter the hell out of it. 10 cups of broth is ridiculous. Nearly 3 pounds of chicken is also ridiculous. Said to cube chicken and then fish out said chicken once done cooking. Horrible instructions. Would not recommend. Had to basically just do my own thing.

Thanks Jennifer! I hope you feel better soon!

So good! Love the flavors, warms my soul. Found your recipe at the right time. Fighting a cold and a healing soup.

If you don’t have access to broth, I recommend making your own by boiling a whole chicken with plenty of herbs and spices.

I love this!! I’ve been making this for awhile now, not putting the celery and peas tho. Also i don’t have chicken broth (living in Asia specifically in Philippines) so im using 4 chicken cubes added to the 10cups of water. Just wondering what’s the alternative of not having a chicken broth? Can we leave it as is? Given that initially the ingredients of the stock is on your recipe? Pls reply and hoping to have a better alternative since i want this not to have additives like msg etc from the broth/chicken cubes.

This sounds delicious, Mike. I hope your wife is feeling better!

This reminded me a little of what is called Thai House Soup in local Thai restaurants, but oh so much more hearty and sustaining. The taste is there though, and it’s even more delicious at home made from fresh ingredients. I will definitely save this recipe to remake again. I tried it out today because my wife has a cold and she said she wanted some good chicken and garlic soup to eat to make her feel better. Very delicious.

I added more garlic, because we can’t get enough of the stuff. 8 cloves for us, and I probably could’ve added more. Because I didn’t want to have to drive to the grocery store on this cold, dreary, rainy day, I used ground ginger instead of fresh. I had some really good quality frozen minimally cooked & seasoned chicken breasts, but I don’t think it detracted from the end result at all. And since we already had frozen peas & carrots, I just used those. Everything else was very similar.

I’m so happy to hear this, Jay!

Excellent! I will cook cut the chicken breast in half next time. It was was tough and difficult to shred from the small cubes. The flavor and aroma was fantastic!
