Can substitute lemons for limes and cooked rice for pasta.

This hit the spot on a chilly Sunday. I followed the recipe using Better than Bouillon, kale, bowtie pasta, and fresh rotisserie chicken from the local grocer. I did add all the herb/ginger mix to the soup, even though it said to save half for topping, because I didn't want to deal with storing the leftovers separately. It did take me forever to prep this meal, but I will make this again!

This was so good. Had the same healing effects as pho. A few mods: - poached chicken breasts and used the cooking liquid as the stock base + added a quart of bone broth - lots of lemon and crushed red pepper to serve - kept pasta separate for reheating so it didn’t get fluffy -

I had leftover grilled chicken, as well as kale, radish and beet greens, a small bunch of sorrel, and some sturdy stalks of green garlic. My pasta choice was anelletti. This is nourishing, full of flavor, and comes together easily. Finishing the soup with half of the scallion-parsley-ginger mixture adds a fresh note, and even with the sorrel we were liberal with the lemon. One thing about this recipe: its flavor defies profiling. When we thought about what hot sauce to add (because my husband and son always do), everything from Crystal to sriracha to Tapatio seemed too much so we defaulted to Marie Sharp’s Original, which we generally consider the most neutral in our collection.

I made this soup when I was feeling under the weather, and it was so healing. My husband and I barely said anything during the meal because we were too busy grunting contentedly and slurping up the broth. Excellent.

Obsessed with this soup. I’ve made it twice already. The second time I doubled the ginger herb mixture. ;) Made the chicken before hand in a sous vide. This is truly a soup that heels. Truly the most perfect sick day soup.
