Mmmmmmm, yummy! I've made this as written, and also with substitutions. Tonight I didn't have chinese cabbage or snow peas. So, I threw in regular green cabbage, spinach, and extra onions! Delish! Thanks so much for sharing!! UPDATE: Forgot to say I added a veggie chicken broth powder (McKay's) to up the flavor. Have also used kale. Also add lots extra instead of sticking to the measurement of veggies~~I like it loaded with them!

I was looking for a good Chinese soup recipe I could use for cabbage soup diet. I saute the veggies in coconut oil, omitted the tofu, added mushrooms and cilantro to the mix of veggies. I also used homemade chicken bone broth instead of water. Also instead of 2 tsp sesame oil I used 1 tso of sesame seed oil for a stronger sesame taste. Very good!!

This soup had a lovely Asian flavor. I used chicken broth instead of water. Because the broth contained salt, I reduced the amount of soy sauce. I also added some sliced mushrooms and some Asian meatballs from recipe 159638. This will definitely be a repeat recipe. It fits low carb diet perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
