I’ve been looking for a new soup recipe and this hits the spot! The instructions are perfectly clear and easy to follow, and the results are spectacular! Rich, sour and spicy, looks great, and I’ve yet to find anyone who didn’t love the chicken meatballs. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a variation on the classic chicken soup.
