Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups vegetable broth
2 stalks lemongrass, peeled and cut into 4 inch pieces
3 fresh kaffir lime leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon peeled minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons roasted chili paste
1 1/2 cups chopped oyster mushrooms or 1 1/2 cups white mushrooms
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
2 -3 small hot green chili peppers, seeded and halved (optional)
rice noodles

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth to a simmer with lemongrass and lime leaves if desired.
  • In small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring often, about 30 seconds.
  • When broth has simmered for 5 minutes, remove lemongrass and lime leaves and discard.
  • Add cooked garlic and ginger to broth.
  • Return broth to a boil, and stir in chile paste and mushrooms.
  • Cook until mushrooms have wilted, about 30 seconds, then stir in lime juice and fish sauce.
  • Remove from heat, and ladle soup into small bowls along with your favorite rice noodles.
  • Top each bowl with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and a pinch of hot green chiles if you want it really really spicy.
  • Alternatively, tomatoes and chiles can be mixed together and placed in small serving bowl for people to help themselves (this way people can make it as spicy as they want).
  • For Vegetarian/Vegan omit the fish sauce and use the soy.

This soup is terrible! It's too spicy and the flavors are all wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I would not recommend this recipe. The soup was bland and flavorless. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This soup is okay, but it's not my favorite. I found the flavors to be a bit too strong and the soup was too spicy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't taste like the picture. It was too spicy and the flavors were off.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup didn't turn out very well. The flavors were bland and the soup was too watery.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also very filling and satisfying.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was still really good. The flavors are very well-balanced and the lemongrass gives it a really nice flavor.
