  I like the sound of this and usually find John Torode's recipes work well. Had to look up "galangal" and doubt that it will be easily available in Jersey - any suggestions?

  This message is for Jill B. If you're trying to get Galangal which comes from the Ginger family, you either have to find a Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese or Japanese Shop. Fail to have them around your area just use regular fresh Ginger, the taste will come out just fine. Hope this helped!!!!

  Delicious recipe! Some of the ingredients were slightly hard to source (I used dried galangal and it worked fine in the soup) but it was very quick and easy to make. I served it with small portions of basmati rice to make it a bit more of a decent meal as although it had a delicious flavour there was not much to it.

  Great authentic flavours but my husband and son ordered a take away later in the evening after what they described 'water soup'. I was sated, but evidently it's not enough for men.
