Very quick and easy. I omitted the shrimp as i don't like them, substituted lime zest for the kaffir lime leaves, added a splash of coconut milk, and used only half of a red chili and it was still really spicy. Tasted exactly like the soup at my favourite Thai restaurant. thank you for sharing ** I forgot to note that i added fresh sliced mushrooms and let them cook very briefly before serving.
