    Based on the comments I added a tablespoon of homemade stock and the soup was full of flavour. Unfortunately the meatballs broke once they were put back into the bowl but the taste was still delicious tmrc_emoticons.). Thanks for the great recipe.

    This was so yummy! I actually found the soup very tasty and full of flavours. I left out the bacon but added a tbsp of soy sauce and a bit of white pepper, and what I ended up with was a very traditional Asian soup. I'll definitely make this again soon. tmrc_emoticons.)

    When trying something new I like to give the recipe the opportunity to prove itself, but I too felt to tweek this recipe a little. I added a little more vegetable stock, even though I did use the bacon. I also left the chicken balls in the stock to "sit" and add a little more flavour to the stock. I did add the sesame oil ( I think these soups benefit from it). I also soaked my rice noodles in salted water as I was worried they would make the broth flavourless.  Having said all that - sometimes we need to also learn to taste foods that are not overloaded with flavours. This has subtle flavours. The star anise, cloves and cinnamon give it a lovely fresh taste. I served it with additional chilli and lime to be added at the table. All in all I would probably just add 1- 1 1/2 Tbsn of vegetable stock to the broth but I'd definately suggest to add the sesame oil. Really nice.

  • This is a great recipe, and

    This is a great recipe, and with a couple of tweaks to personalise it to your palate, it could be a regular in your household. I made chicken meatballs and would increase the pepper, and add a handful of fresh, chopped coriander. The soup was a little light on flavour for my personal preference. I loved the flavour of the cloves, star anise and cinnamon quill, but it lacked the depth I like in my broths (possibly as I left out the bacon). I would increase the stock to 1tbsp, add 2 sliced red chillies and a tiny squeeze of lime. 

    Thanks for the recipe  Big Smile
