I liked this a great deal. Used almost a cup of canned white meat chicken which was kindof shredded, and I felt it fit nicely in the soup. (Plus it was easy!) I skipped the sesame oil and used egg whites only. I added some baby corn that I chopped up as well, and added more broth and spices (also added garlic) to compensate for the extra chicken and veggies. Sweetened it up with a bit of sugar substitute as well.
