  1. What can I say? It's wonderful! Very easy to make, full of spice, crunchiness and flavor. It was nice to have a cup measurement for the fresh coriander, instead of "1 bunch." Thank you very much for sharing another excellent recipe with us.
     
  2. This is excellent. I cut up a whole BBQ chicken and followed the recipe exactally. The fresh herbs, fish sauce and lime juice are fabulous in this easy to make, filling soup. Thanks Fairy Nuff for another great recipe that I will use often :)
     
  3. Absolutely delicious and rich tasting, and the finish of fresh mint and lime is terrific. I had a little confusion over the quantities of liquid--with help from Fairy Nuff, I basically used equal amounts of stock and coconut milk. Next time, I am looking forward to making this with shrimp and substituting shrimp stock for the chicken stock. Thank you, Fairy Nuff.
