I began with the 2-pot method and then just dumped everything into one pot except the fish which I added last after everything else was cooked. I am not a seafood lover but hubby is, and I wanted to try this just for him. Boy, was I in for a surprise! I really like this dish! I used flounder b/c that is what I had in the freezer. The raw carrots didn't sound appealing to me, so they were cooked in the broth w/the rice. Great dish, truly, in my opinion. HippieChick, Chapel Hill, NC	7 weeks 6 days ago

Delicious! For someone who doesn't cook often, it was easy to make. So easy, that I was skeptical in how it would taste. But it turned out great! Toni, Los Angeles, CA	7 weeks 6 days ago

This soup so easy and delicious--I've tried using a lemongrass and ginger rice package, simmering the fish in a Thai stock available at Wegman's, and adding any green I have on hand--spinach works well--today we had sorrel from the garden--the tart/sour taste is great. This is a great recipe for experimentation. Cathy, N Tonawanda, NY	7 weeks 6 days ago
