Thai soups are amazing, the perfect combination of sour, salty, sweet and spicy notes leaves you taste buds coming for more. This soup for example is a good representation of that definition, the sour and fresh notes from lemongrass and lime, the salty fish sauce and hot chillies are a perfect match to fresh seafood flavours making this dish phenomenal. The looks may be intimidating as it is colourful and contains a lot of ingredients but trust me this is very simple, the only technique you need to know is how to drop the ingredients all at once in a pot.

I had posted several Thai soups and dishes before and none of them ever let me down, everything seems to a big hit at our home.
