This is such a fabulous soup! These are excellent directions but I have a few tips. Follow the ingredients - DO NOT substitute yellow or white onions for green onions - it changes the soup. I like to buy lemongrass in the jar because it keeps for quite a while & it's more cost effective. Make sure to drain the warm milk & lemongrass through a strainer before adding everything else. Remember a little cilantro goes a long way. Fish sauce is key. I like to shitake mushrooms & those little corns (chopped). Hope this helps. Enjoy!!!

I like to slap in some red and green peppers. A touch of pepper maybe hot chiles on side to mix in for those that want that kind of spice. Also, Candice is right about onions. The soups balance of sweet/spice/herby will totally be off. experiment with it but be careful with it.
