Directions
Lemon Grass Chicken Soup, This soup is easy to make, hearty and satisfying This soup is rather mild, but chose to leave it that way in deference to those who don’t eat spicy food If you were serving a large group with different tastes, that would be a consideration use about double the lemon grass, fish sauce, peppers and cilantro, putting half the peppers and cilantro in the soup and the other half for each person to add If you can find them, Thai chili peppers are hotter than jalapenos!, I made this today and used Dorot frozen ginger and garlic cubes, squeez lemon grass from a tube, chicken thighs, and slaw mix that contained carrots Using the frozen products, I am sure kicked the flavors up big time because the flavors are much stronger I love this soup the short cuts make this soup go a lot a lot faster and the taste is phenomenal!!!
