This is a new favorite and one I will make often. I loved the combination of flavors and it's something different, which makes it a go for me! My family really loved it and asked me to make it again for them, so it's 5 stars for this one! -
I had this soup at the college cafeteria last week and was obsessed with finding a recipe that matched it..This is exactly what I was looking for!..Absolutley the best soup ever!..Great combinations of flavor!! Will definatley be making this again. -
Basic, simple - but it's good, and taught me a thing or two about making good thai (?) soup - never cooked with lemon grass, but it was yummy. Simple to make and wholesome and creamy without dairy, I'd forgotten the charms of coconut milk.
