Elmo...This soup was awesome! I had two different types of stir fry veggies that I was afraid weren't going to last until the weekend and decided to make some type of soup with them. I ended up doing a search and stumbled across your recipe. I had to make a few changes to avoid returning to the store and ended up using 1/4 tsp. ground ginger instead of gingerroot, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar, 1 T. sugar instead of fructose, 1 lb. of cubed chicken instead of shrimp and had to omit the bamboo shoots and cilantro. I only ended up using 1/2 tsp. of the red pepper flakes as we aren't as young as we used to be along with those still fresh 12 oz. stir fry veggie packages. Even with all of these changes this was an excellent soup! Can't wait to try it with the proper ingredients next time. If I wasn't trying to keep my carbs low, I would have served it in a bowl over either rice or chinese noodles or both...but that is how I got to be this size in the first place!!! I can't wait for the college kids to come home and try my latest soup!! Thank you Elmo! Jan
