Hot n sour soup
I made this on Monday night. Let's start with a confession, I should say that there is one more serving in my fridge still. Yes, I am well overdue for a clean-up of the fridge.
Recipe:
164. Hot and sour soup
Source: Nigella Bites
Weird ingredients and substitutes: Kaffir lime leaves were available from Safeway. I bought a stick of lemongrass, forgetting that I had a jar of ready-chopped lemongrass in the fridge. I substituted chicken thighs for the prawns, given Hubby's dislike of seafood.
Preparation: Chop up lime leaves, lemongrass, chillies, mushrooms, spring onion and squeeze lime. I wasn't sure whether to count a whole kaffir leaf as both double leaves or not.
Cooking process: Heat chicken stock and tom yam paste, add lime leaves, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, chillies and sugar. I think I also added the chicken early to give it time to cook. Boil, add mushrooms, then spring onions.
End result: Sprinkle with coriander. This soup was so tasty, but it did make my nose run. Hubby really enjoyed it - I think he had two servings for dinner. And it was so quick to make too!
Repeatability: Yes.
Cost: $14 for about 5 servings. The coriander was picked from the garden.
Mess: Not for this dish.
Special utensils: Just a citrus reamer for the lime.
