Love this dish! Never used jicama in soup before but it was a great new add-on.

This is a great dish, especially for the winter weather!!! The flavors are subtle, but still good. I used bamboo shoots instead of jicama, two medium sized chicken breasts and seasoned the chicken with a little salt and pepper before placing in the broth.

I loved this dish. I made it for my family and they loved it too. Some other reviews said this recipe was bland, I disagree. Mine was very spicy (used the whole pepper and it had the right amount of kick.
I really like the ingredients that this recipe used, which gave it a variety of textures.
For the broth, I did not use fish sauce... ick, I used soy sauce instead. Great Dish!

I absolutely loved this recipe. It's easy to do, and despite the long list of ingredients and multiple steps, it wasn't too work-intensive. The broth was super flavorful, and at the same time very simple. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and I loved the flavor of the fresh scallions with the chicken and rice. The mushrooms also added a nice meatiness. The jicama added a nice texture, but I'm sure you could substitute water chestnuts if that was your preference. It had a really great flavor, and I will definitely be coming back to this one.

While this isn't a recipe that's going to blow your taste buds away, it's certainly one that gives an excellent and healthy spin on a new comfort food. I had to make two substitutions: I used portobella mushrooms instead of shitake and white rice instead of brown. All in all I think that helped tremendously since portobellas have more flavor and the white rice added a slight creaminess to the broth. In regards to the broth itself, I loved the subtle spice of the ginger--it was an addition I wasn't sure about since I don't normally care for it, but with all the other flavors, it was excellent. I had also never used jicama before, but it was another wonderful flavor and texture to an otherwise delicious dinner--and I didn't feel like I had to exercise after finishing off the whole bowl!

It's true that this isn't packed with flavor, but it kind of reminded me of simple dishes I ate in the homes of Malaysia's middle class families. My husband and I ate this quit a bit for a while cause it was an easy go to.

A lot of prep work for a pretty bland dish.

I thought this was really flavor full. To make it easier on me - I bought a rotisserie chicken from the deli and shredded the breast/white meat to get the chicken breast. I also added the skin from the chicken and a few celery sticks when adding the mushroom stems, whole chives and basil. I chose to use all chicken broth (8 cups instead of 2 cups water. Was out of fish sauce so just used a SPLASH of soy (all you need is a little. So delish!
