Ingredients:

1 litre chicken stock
2 stalks lemongrass, cut into 5cm pieces and smashed
5 slices galangal
3 bird's eye chillies, sliced
300g prawns, peeled and deveined
150g mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp fish sauce
Juice of 2 limes
1 tsp sugar
Fresh coriander, for garnish

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Soup Base
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the lemongrass, galangal, and chillies. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the aromatic flavours to infuse into the broth.
2 Add the Prawns and Mushrooms
Add the prawns, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Simmer gently until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
3 Finish and Serve
Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar, adjusting to taste. Remove from heat and discard the lemongrass and galangal. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
