"From newest book. Haven't tried. This tangy, spicy soup is made with classic Thai ingredients that are easy to find. Look for both chili-garlic sauce and Asian fish sauce in the specialty food section of most large supermarkets. If you have leftovers, simply whisk when reheating."

Tweaks

we replace the plum tomatoes with a 15oz can of diced tomatoes. I also add an additional 1/2 pound of protein; squid, scallops, or chicken.
