1. If using chopped lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and galangal, discard them after their flavour is infused in the broth. They are not meant to be eaten.
2. You can use any protein of choice eg. tofu for vegans. This must be added right towards the end to the soup.
3. Thai red chillies are hot and must be used as per taste. You can skip them too. If you can’t find chillies, you can use about ½ tsp. Cayenne in their place.
4. Using broth adds more flavour than water so it would be nice to source some vegetarian broth.
5. Vegetables can be varied as per what is available in your fridge. Just cut them into uniform sizes for uniform cooking.
6. You can store leftovers in the fridge for upto 3 days. The soup can also be frozen and will stay for 3 months in the freezer.
