Fast, light and full of flavour, great entree or a light lunch. Always a hit with dinner guests. For a chicken version, use chicken stock and 1 sliced cooked chicken breast instead of the prawns.

This soup was a total flop. The broth was bland and the shrimp were overcooked.

The soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili.
