Excellent soup! It only takes minutes to make, but it is big on flavor. I made this as written, but doubled the recipe; and I'm glad I did! If I had shiitake mushrooms, I would have added a few of those. Thanx for a great soup!

This was fantastic! So easy and so delicious. And the lemongrass really is essential to the flavor. I added chicken and a little fresh spinach and used thin rice noodles because that's what was in the cupboard, but otherwise followed the recipe. DH couldn't stop raving about the soup and insisted that we have it often. Quick, tasty, healthy - a definite winner!
