I am a HUGE soup fan. My husband is a HUGE Spicy Noodle fan. This was simple, and flavorful. Just the right amount of spice (although my husband kicked his up a notch). I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of the ginger. I couldn't find fresh ginger, so I used the crushed stuff that comes in a tube. I used a lot of it, about half the tube. I will make this recipe for company, as it was a very elegant presentation.
