    Clean bowls every time. Great with crusty bread.

    This was very, very sour as you would expect with lemon grass, tomatoes and tamarind. I had to add sour cream, sugar and bread to make it edible.

    I doubled the quantities except the lemongrass and tamarind. Very nice.

    This is tamarind soup. If I made it again I'd put a quarter of the amount of tamarind in. It's inedible, burns your throat it's so strong, acidic.
