This Spicy Thai Shrimp Soup combines the most delicious and unique flavors! I first had it made for me by a private chef and his wife and couldn’t wait to learn to make it myself. I LOVE the ginger in this soup!
For those unable to eat coconut milk~ I actually really enjoy the soup without it if you need to leave it out.
