I too have this recipe in my Cooking Class Chinese Cookbook. I bought a nice head of cabbage at the farmers market and came across this recipe in my book and decided to try it. I halved the recipe and it still made a lot of soup for one person. Not to worry thou, it was so good I ate half of it the first night and the rest of it the next night. I used a pkg. of Ramen Noodles and half of the flavoring packet. Sooo Good! -
I've been making this for years from my Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook. Obviously, to give it 5 stars, we really love this soup for taste and simplicity. I make this as directed with one exception: I often substitute pot stickers for the thin egg noodles. Thanks for posting Ice Cool Kitty! -
I made half the recipe using a 4 oz boneless pork chop, Bok Choy for the cabbage, and angel hair pasta. So quick and easy, and tastes great too. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks Kitty. Made for Unrated Asian Recipe Tag.

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
