    I loved it!!!! I will make it again for sure. I used chicken breasts instead (2 pounds) and brown rice. I also used 3 tablespoons of turmeric (b/c I love spicy stuff!)

    Tasty and easy — a hot soup i'll make in summer. i love any recipe for soup which doesn't ambush you half way through with "Now add 11 cups chicken stock". West African food is worth a really close look if you've never tried it — lots of veggies, chicken rather than red meat, etc.
