Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, lemongrass stalks, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

    Add the sliced mushrooms, quartered tomatoes, and sliced onion to the pot. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and stir gently to combine. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add lime juice, salt, and chili flakes to taste. Stir well and let it heat through for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5
