Very good! Made this exactly as written except for a few tweaks... Used chicken broth (next time might use 50/50 water/fish broth), and added a few shrimp. I thought I had bamboo shoots in the pantry, but didn't, so I used slivered water chestnuts for some crunch. We loved the fresh combo of cilantro, mint and bean sprouts as the topper. All in all, a very unusual and VERY tasty soup that lends itself to improvisation. Thanks for sharing this lovely soup!
