Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts chicken broth
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, sliced on a bias in 2-inch pieces
4 kaffir lime leaves
1-inch piece fresh galangal or ginger, sliced
2 red chiles, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce, such as nam pla
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, rinsed and halved
1 pound large shrimp, peeled with tails on
2 limes, juiced
2 green onions, sliced
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to the boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and chiles. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth.
  • Uncover and add the fish sauce, sugar, and mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and cook for about 8 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, green onions, and cilantro. Taste for salt and spices; you should have an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour. It's a good idea to tell your guest's that the lemongrass and lime leaves are for flavor only and should be avoided when eating the soup.

This soup is so flavorful and the perfect comfort food for a cold day. I love the combination of the sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. I usually add a little bit of extra lemongrass to mine, but that's just my personal preference.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup was the perfect level of spice for me. It was flavorful and satisfying without being too overwhelming. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually make a double batch so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day. It's also great for meal prepping because it reheats well.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't add enough sugar. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I will definitely be making it again.
