Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 or 4 stalks lemon grass
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
3 kaffir lime leaves, very thinly sliced
5 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
8 ounces jumbo shrimp
2 to 3 bird pepper chilies, stemmed, seeded and minced
2 to 3 teaspoons nam pla (fish sauce)
3 to 4 tablespoons (or more) lime juice
5 sprigs cilantro, washed, dried and chopped
4 whole kaffir lime leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim the bottom of the lemon grass, and remove tough layers. Using a food processor or Japanese or French mandoline, slice the bottom 3 or 4 inches of the stalk tissue-thin.
  • Bring the stock to a boil. Add lemon grass and sliced lime leaves, and boil one minute.
  • Add the mushrooms, and simmer until mushrooms have softened, 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, chilies and fish sauce, and cook until shrimp are just done. (Do not overcook the shrimp.)
  • Stir in the lime juice, tasting as you add. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro and the 4 whole lime leaves.

I love this soup! It's so flavorful and satisfying. I usually make a big batch of it and then freeze it in individual portions. It's a great way to have a healthy and delicious meal on hand when I'm short on time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually cook a big batch of rice on the weekend and then use it to make this soup during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's also very healthy.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used tofu in this soup instead. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the soup and it was just as delicious as the shrimp.

This is my go-to recipe for hot and sour soup. It's always a hit with my family and friends. I love the combination of sour, spicy, and sweet flavors. The shrimp and mushrooms add a nice touch of umami.

This soup was okay, but I've had better. The flavors were a bit too sour for my taste. I probably wouldn't make this soup again.

I was disappointed with this soup. The flavors were bland and the shrimp were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. Next time, I'll use less chili peppers.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more shrimp. I love shrimp and I think it would have been even better with more.
