Coconut Curry Recipe

One of my personal favorite Asian soups. Whether it is specifically Vietnamese or Thai, is something for somebody else to debate. All I care is that it is freaking delicious! Tasting Guidelines: Taste is sweet and spicy with aromatic curry notes. Weight is medium but can be balanced with lemongrass. Texture is soupy. Good for people with low to moderate treatment side effects. Best categorized as south east Asian.

Notes

Lemon grass adds a nice, clean finish, especially for people who are having trouble with flavors.
This curry should be sweet. Add sugar as needed, especially to combat metallic tastes.
For metallic tastes, add 1/2 a lime sliced into cocktail wedges with juice. Remove limes before serving.
