Tip

Thai herbs are full of immune-boosting compounds so great in winter or at the onset of a cold!

You can substitute left over chicken meat for the prawns.

    This soup is absolutely delicious and flavoursome. I would recommend doubling for a family of 4x. Definitely a favourite now and I'll be making it again. I followed it to the recipe and added chicken instead of prawns, as per tip. Only as I didn't have any prawns. The teens loved it. I served it with a side of rice just to extend it. I did make one small change and chopped up the lemon grass more so that I didn't get stick bits through it. Finally, I've found a soup to make in thermo that is full of flavour...

    This soup was THE BEST! I cooked it without the prawns (as I'm vegetarian), took my share out then added prawns to the rest. I substituted the fish sauce with Vegan oyster sauce. Every one in the family loved it! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    I used canned tomatoes as that was all I had, and it still came out briliantly.

    Submitted by Budo on 7. February 2018 - 23:46.

    Absolutely great receipe! Tried it more more than twice now with a bit of tinkering, however what are the heat settings from step 3 to 5 ? Varoma down to 100 I am guessing! Tried steaming the chicken pieces in dish above bowl to try and capture the smell and flavours. U fortunately for me the chicken dried out too much which indicates over cooking ? Will try your method suggested though next time and see if it makes a difference!

    100% Jenny - the TM31 has a smaller bowl capacity so this will all fit perfectly in your TM5.

  • This looks like a good

    Submitted by AT2015 on 20. February 2015 - 03:21.

    This looks like a good recipe. Please could you advise on a few points?

    Which speed do you use at stage 2.?

    At stage 3 is this still at temperature VAROMA until the end?

    Do you make everything in the TM bowl or do you actually need to use the VAROMA attachment at any point?

    Many thanks!
