I am eating this now out of the freezer so its been a while since I originally made it. Somehow I added too much salt which was my own fault. I like the ginger in the dish but I did not add the bacon. Maybe they would clash? When I make this again with the right amount of seasonings I may update the review. -
sorry, didnt work for me. The texture was sticky and thick, the soup seemed to have conflicting flavors. Even with the addition of 2 full cups of water it still wasnt quite "there". I might toss it. 2 stars because it IS etible, and maybe this was just a personal taste issue...?
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Michigan. I work as an accountant and software engineer. My favorite cookbook is Betty Crockers New Cookbook and an old one by Hallmark called holiday cooking.
I love to eat as much as I love to cook. However, I have become decidely a better nutritional cook than before. I don't just cook to eat. I cook to eat delicious "healthy" meals. I am also an exercise addict, to help combat when I do eat a dish full of cream and cheese. Well not the cheese because I am alergic to that as well as the cream!
So I take a lot of great recipes on Zaar and doctor them up to meet my healthy standard. One of these days I should make them public, but... thats a lot of work.
