Hot-and-Sour Soup with Prawns

This fragrant soup will overwhelm you with intense bursts of lemongrass, lime and seafood. The Thais put A LOT of chilli in theirs and even the fiercest chilli afficionados break out in a sweat. I’ve kept all the taste, but scaled back on heat. If you can order Thai chilli paste (nam prik pao) online, it’s the secret to capturing the quintessential Thai flavour. Alternatively, add two chopped bird’s eye chillies.
