Thai Fish Soup

---

From moosewood. I think this is a really tasty soup, well worth hunting down the dried galanga. If you can find fresh lemon grass (lucky you!), feel free to substitute it for the dried! . This would probably be good with some broccoli added, too.

Steps

---

Simmer the laos root and lemongrass in 1 cup of the stock for 1 / 2 hour.

---

Add more liquid as necessary.

---

In a large saucepan , simmer the coconut milk and 2 remaining cups of stock , uncovered , for 5 minutes.

---

Add the chiles , scallions , cilantro , and fish.

---

Strain the lemongrass and laos mixture and add that liquid to the pot.

---

Simmer , uncovered , until the fish is just cooked.

---

Remove from heat.

---

Stir in the lime juice and the fish sauce , adding more if desired.
