    Very Good
    For this I use nappa cabbage instead of spinach...I also do not mix in rice I make the rice on the side and put the soup on top of the rice when serving...also like to use wings and/or drumsticks instead of thighs.... - 1/23/13

    Incredible!
    Very Good Soup!!!! I use chayote just like how my mother made it when I was younger. Now I do the same for my kids and they love to just dunk their rice in it...tastes great! - 1/14/08

    Yummmm...I made this with no rice because I don't like rice that is wet -- it's GOOD without the rice. LIke a broth-based soup. - 11/26/07
