My workplace has this soup every Friday. I didn't just want to wait till Friday of the following week to have the soup so I hunted a recipe down! A mention about the lemon grass, remove the outer layers, finely chop a length about 4-5 inches long, then chop it again! Or put it in one of those mini choppers if you have one.. you want it as finely chopped as possible. And last but not least, thank you as always to my hubby for the photography of my cooking!! kokomayla -
