Seriously easy, and the broth is packed with flavor. At first taste, I understand why a couple of reviews used the word "addicting" because it has one of those distinct, piquant flavors that your mouth waters for when you think about making it for dinner. My next go around, I'll probably add another tomato and cut the onion by 1/2... only due to personal taste. Thank you Araya's Place! This will be a staple in my house.

This is awesome. My fiance requests my version instead of going to the Thai restaurant. Easy and great. Best to make a double batch.

This soup really is addicting! Don't forget to take out the lemongrass and the galangal out before serving. We go to this restaurant and it is always great. You can add coconut milk to this soup too! Amazing.
