  Too high in sodium - as many have suggested. Sodium reduced soy sauce is still high and regular commercial sodium reduced chicken broth has what I am permitted in 2/3 cup for an entire meal. I think the numbers are right. Recipe is not for people who need to reduce sodium - 12/13/08

  Yes, but next time I would try coconut milk or lf milk in place of the soy milk. The soy left an after taste I didn't enjoy. - 12/13/08

  Great--with UNSWEETENED soy milk, tho that adds 2.5 grams of fat to the entire 8 servings. I've found lots of recipes calling for soy don't do well with the usual stuff, b/c it's got sweeteners in it. Look for unsweetened--great for soups and savory dishes. - 12/13/08

  this sounds great and you can reduce the sodium y using braggs aminos in place of the soy sauce. I am going to use Shiratake pasta and maybe more ginger but this looks like a keeper to me.. thank you! - 9/30/08

  This sounds awesome, glad to see the nutrition info got fixed. I think I'll up the ginger and garlic and add a bunch of carrots (love carrots) and maybe some turnips or parsnips. Maybe some red pepper flakes, too. Thanks for the recipe! Would you mind if I posted a smaller version for us singles? - 12/13/08

  I have been making this same recipe BUT... without the soy sauce for a couple of years now. I originally found it on the Mayo Clinic website. Sometimes I will leave out the chicken as well and replace it with tofu (as suggested on the Mayo Clinic site) I also add the edamame to mine - 8/27/17

  Added more vegetables - celery, potatoes (nixed the pasta), red peppers, beans, corn, and garlic. Also, I replaced the soy milk with nonfat milk and replaced the chicken broth with reduced sodium chicken bouillian and water. Threw the whole thing in the crockpot (added milk & corn at end). - 11/8/11

  I tweaked it a little, which added much more flavor. I used more ginger (med sized root) and also added 5 or 6 celery roots, 5-6 carrots and 2-3 parsnips. I used 3 chicken wings or drumsticks and 3 short ribs. Cooked it for longer. SO MUCH FLAVOR! - 1/8/11

  I finally got around to making this soup....it's amazing! The amount of ginger is absolutely perfect. I didn't add the soy milk because the broth was great without it, and I added a handful of cilantro the last 10 minutes of simmering and it added a gorgeous color!!! Thanks for sharing. - 12/1/10

  You can always click the 'ingredient details' link, and it will show you how the recipe was entered into the calculator. The author accidentally entered 64 cups of broth. At 8 cups of broth per batch, the real sodium for a serving of this is 718. I'm looking forward to trying this one! - 6/27/08

  I see lots of concern over the sodium, but I think the count is not listed correctly because just 2 T. of low-sodium soy sauce shouldn't elevate it that high. I didn't use soy milk, instead evaporated skim milk for a cream of chicken noodle soup and left out the soy sauce all together. YUM! - 12/2/07

  It sounds good but I'd have to eliminate the soy sauce and find something else besides low sodium stock to get the sodium levels into something reasonable. Chicken soup is supposed to be healthy. Anyone with BP problems can't even consider this recipe in it's original version. Alternate suggestions? - 12/2/07

  I don't know what happened on the sodium calculations, but if you use your good sense, and look at how much sodium is in 2 tablespoons of reduced soy sauce and how much is in the chicken broth you will realize that it isn't near as much as it shows. Use your good sense and a little math, please. - 12/1/07
