  Lovely. Halved the amount of lime and increased the fish sauce - a good glug!

  A really nice flavour. I added red beans and green peas for more substance, didn't hurt at all!

  Just made this. It's so so easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. I will be making a bigger batch next time so I can freeze for easy future meals.

  Wow what a great soup. Changed nothing but i might add a bit more fish sauce and less chili. 10 out of 10 from our family.

  This soup tastes great. I used less chilli than recommended, chicken thighs instead of breasts, coconut milk powder instead of cream, and Worcester Sauce instead of fish sauce.

  Basically followed the recipe but used cooked chicken. Also added a tin of coconut milk instead of coconut cream. Didn't have lime juice so also left out the sugar. Really delicious soup.

  Authentic thai flavours. Even our 2 year old enjoyed this so it was not too spicy. Goes also well with rise.
