Super healthy!
I love this soup, it’s really hearty but so healthy. An easy way to fill part of your 5 a day allowance. I don’t use the lime juice as I found it made the taste a little too sharp for me. This recipe made enough for 3 adults.

Could I substitute the lemongrass for a lemongrass paste?

Reply

    HollyWednesday 3rd March 2021

    Hi Kelly, yes you can use ready prepared lemongrass paste refer to your jar for suggested measurements equivalent to 1 stalk of fresh lemongrass, hope that helps!

Could you add chilli powder or flakes if you don’t have fresh chilli. Or even lazy chilli?

Reply

    LisaWednesday 6th May 2020

    Hi Natalie, yes you can substitute any of those for the fresh chilli, but be careful! Dried chilli can be much more powerful than the fresh equivalent, so use it sparingly unless you like things firey!
