I probably shouldn't rate this since I modified the recipe quite a bit based on what I had on hand, but it turned out great nevertheless. Ingredients I omitted (coconut milk, mushrooms, shrimps, lemon grass and cilantro). I added an extra tsp of red curry paste as well as 1 tbsp of chili garlic sauce. I also added a bunch of baby bok choy, some celery and some zucchini in there. Turned out great. Just goes to show that this recipe is versatile!

great taste, I just find that "2 servings" is actually a portion to have this as a meal!

I tried this soup but with my own twist. I changed a lot of the things that were in the soup and added a lot that wasn't on the recipe. I added tomato's, corn and chunks of onions. I added a few more spices and a lot more curry powder! I also used wheat noodles instead of rice noodles. Only complaint which was on my part was to much soy sauce and to much chicken. Next time I plan to use less chicken broth and less soy sauce. This was a seriously tasty soup.

I didnt have lemongrass and I substituted rice for the noodles. Turned out pretty good.

This soup is fantastic! I left out the shrimp, added more curry paste and sirracha. Everyone I made it for raved about it for days. Outstanding!

Made as-is this recipe was bland. The only ingredient I was missing is the lemongrass, which I couldn't find. I ended up tripling the amount of the red curry, adding onion powder and red pepper flakes to get this to a better flavor. The end result was pretty good.

Of all the ethnic recipes I have tried on this site, this one was truly outstanding! My hubby loved it! Like we all do, I tweaked a little. I served it as a main dish so I doubled the shrimp. And because we love it spicy, I added a teaspoon of curry powder and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. This one goes on my repeat frequently list!

Very flavorful. I skipped the spinach because I didn't like the idea of large leaves of soggy spinach, so instead I put a handful of basil in with the cilantro and I really liked how herbal and fragrant it made the soup.

I made only a few minor adjustments to the recipe, which I'm sure didn't alter the final results much. I used chicken instead of shrimp. I cut the chicken in thin strips, cooked it a bit in the oil, removed, then continued with the recipe, adding the chicken back in towards the end. I also used lemon grass powder (about 1/2 tsp.) instead of fresh lemon grass, left out the soy sauce and added a couple of squirts of fish sauce. Also used brown sugar instead of the white. It was fantastic! Very similar to "The Best Thai Coconut Soup" recipe, also on this site, which is another favorite of ours. I did enjoy the addition of the spinach in this recipe though. Hubs said it's a "do again"! Thanks for sharing!

Didn't have lemon grass, so skipped it. Used chicken instead of shrimp. Skipped mushrooms, spinach, and green onions because I didn't have them. Still absolutely wonderful!
