This is the best soup I have ever had the pleasure of eating! I absolutly loved it. I couldn't find lemongrass so I left it out. I have a lot of non-shrimp eaters at my house so I put some cooked chicken in as well for them. I will make this as often as I can get away with it. Just printed out the recipe to share with a friend.

We loved this recipe! I didn't have coconut milk and substituted evaporated milk. I skipped the cilantro and lime zest, didn't have it on hand, but it was still awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

I was able to find all of the ingredients locally, except for the fresh lemon grass. I used native Maine shrimp, in season now, and it was delicious...Every spoonful was a new combination of flavors. Thank you!

My husband and I really enjoyed this soup. It had such a nice light flavor and I loved the ingredients. Yum! We'll make this one again for sure.

This soup is just fantastic. I made it last night - I used lemongrass that is sold in the jar, as getting fresh lemongrass in my community is a bit hit-and-miss. I did cook some rice noodles and put them in the bowl, then ladled the soup over. Without question, one of the best soups I have ever made. My husband had Thai soup when we went to Sydney Austalia about 10 years ago which he has been trying to find in North America ever since - this is the closest so far, according to him! I was told to "make this as often as you like"!!! Thanks for the recipe!

This really was easy! I had to sub lemon zest for the grass though. Still so yummy!
