Preparation

Step 1

Bring broth to boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Tie lemongrass, lime leaves and ginger together in cheesecloth or put it in the herb difuser. Add to broth with juice from one lime and Sriracha sauce. Lower heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes to let the spices mingle. Uncover and add fish sauce, honey, and mushrooms. Reduce to low and simmer 5 minutes.

Toss in the shrimp and simmer another 4-5 minutes on low until they start to turn pink. Immediately remove from the heat to avoid overcooking and maintain delicate texture of shrimp. Squeeze in remaining limes, green onions, and cilantro. Enjoy now or allow the flavors to deepen for a few days.

If you used fresh raw lemongrass and ginger remove the pieces when you ladle soup into bowls if desired.

REHEAT in microwave or on stove. Heat everything except the shrimp first. After soup is warmed to your liking, remove from heat, then add shrimp back in.

BONUS FIBER: 1 cup of broccoli slaw, shredded white cabbage or bean sprouts in each bowl. It will soften when you ladle hot soup over it or can be microwaved with soup if you’re reheating a single bowl.
