What a great soup and low-fat! I used turkey breast and that's about the only change I made. I'll be making this again and again, and without guilt if I feel like seconds!!

Nice soup! The lemon is subtle but keeps it lively. I started with raw chicken and cooked rice, so I sautéed the chicken briefly with the onion, and added the rice at the end. Quick, simple and satisfying.

This gets my vote for ease and flavor! Delicious for a healthy soul but I imagine it would be excellent for a "sickie." I didn't have any lemons to slice up but I subbed with about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Next time I may try it with the lemon slices to compare. There will definitly be a next time!

Great flavor. I tripled the recipe. I also used celery and carrots. Plus... I cooked the boneless breasts right in the soup and then chopped them up later when the soup was done. I also skipped cooking the cabbage separately because you lose so much flavor by cooking and draining it.. I sauteed it right along with the carrots, onions and celery.. then added the broth and raw chicken with the rice. Mmm.. comfort food.

Excellent recipe. Amazing how a soup so easily made could taste so good! The seasonings so complimented the ingredients. The cabbage worked so well as did the basmati rice which I think is perfect for this soup. I used chicken but will be keeping this recipe in mind when we have turkey. Thank you Molly for sharing this delicious soup.

Delicious. I saute'd onion, one carrot, one large celery & 3 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil. Then added 8 cups of water and 2 chicken thighs because broth has sodium and we can't use it. I also added 1/4 cup of barley [instedad of rice] and 1/2 cup of yellow split peas because we need the fiber. Everything else we did as instructed and it was yummy! Thank you!

Everything perfect down to the comment about less cayenne and white pepper if you want it less spicy. DH loved it most just as is.

I made this exactly as written, except for the lemon slices. I had none, so like another reviewer, I added lemon juice. This was a very flavorful soup and I really enjoyed it. It's best the next day. The only thing I wish I had done was add less rice and more cabbage. I am not a big rice eater, but love cabbage. Just my personal taste of course. The soup was very good and great on a cold week after work. Thanks for the recipe.
