This delicious soup perfectly balances the sweetness of coconut milk and the fragrance of galangal, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, with the salty fish sauce and the sour taste of lime juice.
I would advice finding galangal for this soup, but if it proves hard – ginger works quite well too. It will change the flavour of the soup a bit, but it still tastes very good.
If you are vegetarian, replace the fish sauce with tamari or just salt, although the version with fish sauce does tastes better.
You can make it with chicken, with prawns or with vegetables, it will be equally yummy!
