I'm giving this 5 star rating with one stipulation - additional lime (or lemon) juice! Without the lemongrass, it seemed to be missing something. I listened to my brother for once and brought out some sliced lemons. (Lime would've been good, but I only bought one for the recipe and had already used it up.) Everyone squeezed it into their soup. It went from 3 stars to 5! A great alternative to restaurant thai soup which usually contains MSG.

Let me rave about this! Absolutely delicious! Full of flavor, an undercurrent of heat, very fresh tasting. I used homemade, salt-free chicken stock and added salt at the end. Also, I could not bring myself to boil the shrimp--so I brought the liquid to a boil, lowered the heat and then added the shrimp. What a really wonderful (and easy) soup!
