I received this recipe from Nussara Boonkungwan who prepared it for a Thai cooking demonstration on 6-11-99 at ESKing Village at NCSU. She is a great cook and I enjoyed this very much!

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. I could definitely handle the spice level.

This soup is so easy to make, yet it tastes like it came from a restaurant.

I love the combination of flavors in this soup. The sourness from the lime juice and the spiciness from the chili peppers are perfectly balanced.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors were so complex and rich, and the spice level was perfect. I was a little worried about the spiciness, but it was just right - not too hot, but still had a nice kick to it.
