This recipe is great! The only thing wrong is it needs to be doubled!

This recipe is great for a light summer meal or a dreary winter night. The flavors are fresh and bright. It's incredibly versatile, too. I like to replace the chicken and chicken broth with firm tofu and veggie broth for a vegetarian change.
