I had a request for this soup from a sick friend. Made right it is a flavor explosion. I just use one tablespoon of fish sauce. I love the mushrooms but you could also add noodles for the same texture.

We love Thai soup, but this recipe had too much fish sauce that overwhelmed this dish. I would also replace the enoki mushrooms because of the expense and use regular button mushrooms instead.
