  1. Delicous, delicious, delicious. We loved your soup, it was light and very delicious, we enjoyed the spiciness of the dish. It was a little difficult to find fresh coriander leaves but well worth the effort. I made exactly as written using the galangal and shrimp options. Thank you so much Tea Jenny for sharing this lovely recipe, which we will enjoy again and again.
     
  2. My 15 year daughter is a vegetarian. I saw this recipe and thought with a few changes she would love this. So I left out the chicken, mushrooms and lime juice. Instead, I used a can of water chestnuts and bamboo shoots and added broccoli. Instead of the chili peppers, I used 1 Tblsp of homemade red curry paste. She loved it and I have already made it about four times since finding the recipe. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. We had a quick and easy lunch before DH went off to work today and this soup was a big part of it. It was an interesting choice for us, as we've never had a coconut milk based soup and were surprised at the watery texture. It was a little bland for our tastes, despite the wide range of flavors, but was still very good. I wasn't able to find kaffir leaves but I did have dried galangal on hand and we used chicken for the meat. We served this with recipe #306197. Thanks for posting, TJ! Made & enjoyed for ZWT6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes! :)

<p>Hi,&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp; have three grown up kids and&nbsp;7 &nbsp;grand kids&nbsp;1&nbsp;greatgrandchild and an other on the way. I work p/t as a cleaner in a large office, and sometimes I help as tea lady and I do a bit of reception duties not a lot just a bit, I tend to cut people off in error of course.&nbsp;I have a wee dog called Molly, and is&nbsp;so so naughty, but we love her to bits even if she won't do as she is told. She is a cross between a poodle and a jack Russell and is now&nbsp;four years old. I love my garden and growing everything&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just have a small plot, so I like things that grow well in pots, and of course cooking. I love all cook books so I cant pick one but I have one that I refer to a lot Delia Smith's complete cookery course, a good all rounder. I have discovered that I am now diabetic and have had to change my eating and cooking habits I now try to go for the healther option rather than all the cream, butter and sugar, and I have lost 32 pounds, and feel so much better. My mum and all her family were diabetic and so far I am the only one of 8 kids to get it, just my luck, but in a way it's a blessing, as I now have a healthy diet not like before stuffing my face with all sorts. my peeves are I don't like cruel or rude&nbsp;people that don't consider other peoples feelings and&nbsp;opinions, manners and a smile don't cost a penny, so why be greedy and not spread a bit of happiness about, I am quite a softy at heart but don't mess with my kids or grand kids I am&nbsp;very protective of them and would do anything for them,&nbsp;&nbsp;as I always tell my grandchildren it's nice to be nice makes you feel good and we all like that, I used to run a bakers shop and the old folks that came in were so lonely sometimes you were the only&nbsp;person that they spoke to in days or weeks so a smile and a friendly wee chat&nbsp;would make there day so if I can make one person smile in a&nbsp;day that would be great &nbsp;and I have brought my kids up to think the same and the grand kids too.I am married to my dear old man for 40 years this may and can't believe where all the years have gone, they do say time passes fast when you are having a good time so I guess I am having a good time DH said I am having a good time when I am telling him what to do, I say&nbsp;I'm just keeping him right&nbsp;so he will be happy well that my story and I am sticking to it. he he he. .&nbsp;<img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/AMBadgeGenTP2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket />[/ <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/ThymeSticker.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Contest%20Banners%20-%20Feb%202010/RSC15Bannersusieb-1-1-1-1.jpg alt= width=300 height=132 /></p>
