  1. 1

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped lemongrass, torn kaffir lime leaves, sliced galangal, and smashed bird's eye chilies to the pot. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes to release the flavors of the herbs.

    Add Shrimp and Vegetables

    Add the peeled shrimp, sliced mushrooms, quartered tomatoes, and sliced onion to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the mushrooms are tender.

  5. 5

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
