Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Trim the top, bottom, and outer leaves of the lemongrass, using only the tender inner portions. Thinly slice the core on the diagonal.

  2. Don't use dried lemongrass. Substitute instead the 4 strips of lemon zest and mince finely.

  3. Combine the lemongrass, galangal chicken stock, fish sauce, and chili paste in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes.

  4. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms (quartered), chilies, and shrimp and simmer for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are firm and pink.

  5. The soup can be prepared ahead to this stage.

  6. Just before serving, pour in the lime juice, scallions, and cilantro.

  7. Soup should be spicy and quite sour. Add more/less lime juice/chili paste for more/less tartness/hotness. Suggest to your guests that they eat around the lemongrass pieces.
