I love the broth! It can’t be reheated with the shrimp, of course. My husband thought it was too tangy.

One of our favourite soups! Don’t skip on the fresh herbs. Perfect heat!! Sooo good!
Natalie Allison
Wasn’t spicy.  Weird taste to it and had to doctor it up.
Mary Wilson
This was delish! Only thing I would do is make it more of a bisque consistency. 

Very soothing to the throat as well!

This is one of our go-to soups, especially when one of us is sick.  We use two heaping teaspoons of cayenne but we are also from south Louisiana so we can handle the spice.  Those who think that it is too spicy or don’t like spicy food should cut back on the cayenne…and maybe avoid Thai food in general.

We absolutely love this soup.  It’s important to stay with fresh herbs when indicated.  The herb flavor with the acid and the coconut milk is addictive.  I add  seafood assortment but keep it mostly shrimp for additional substance.  Although having the broth alone would be very satisfying too.

I love this recipe! So tasty and easy to make!

We did not like it, the shrimp was good but I have already thrown the recipe out.  Luckily I served a big salad with this also cut the cayenne pepper by half or it would have ruined the shrimp.  Will not ever make this again.

Delicious, I wouldn’t change a thing. I like that the broth is just that, a broth, and not thick like a bisque. It’ll be a great summer soup.
