 I love this soup so much !!!

Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:
3 cups chicken stock (this makes enough soup to serve 2 people - double the recipe for 4 or more)
1 stalk lemongrass (for instructions on how to prepare lemongrass, see link below)
3 kaffir lime leaves (available fresh or frozen at Asian food stores)
12 medium or large raw shrimp, shelled
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1-2 small red (or substitute green) chillies (depending on desired spiciness), finely sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
a handful of cherry tomatoes
a handful of fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
1 green and/or red bell pepper, sliced
1 can coconut milk
1/3 cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped
optional: additional Thai red chillies, OR Nam Prik Pao Chili Sauce (1-2 tsp.)
optional: wedges of lime for serving (key limes or regular limes)

Directions:
Pretty common sense thought the sites about are good for tips. Did not know you have to hammer the lemongrass inorder to get the flavor out. Good tip.

I like the soup with chicken or an egg when I do not have shrimp.

Adding some rice or rice noodle is optional.

For the purpose of dieting I also go easy or not at all with the coconut. I would rather chose a little portion of yummy coconut rice on the side instead.
