Chayote Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger image

In Indonesia, the sourness in this soup would typically come from tamarind, which can be hard to find in the United States. A shot of lemon juice works well instead.

I didn't like this soup at all. The flavor was bland and the texture was mushy.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a lot of ginger. Next time I'll use less ginger and see how it turns out.

I'm not a huge fan of chayote, but this soup was surprisingly good. The lemongrass and ginger really helped to balance out the flavor of the chayote.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This soup is amazing! The chayote gives it a light and fluffy texture, while the lemongrass and ginger add a wonderful flavor. I especially love the hint of spiciness from the ginger.
