Cindy's Thai Hot and Sour Soup

By: SYNDI111 
"This is very good! It's worth it going to the Thai market to get the extra ingredients. I used to order this at a restaurant and I came home and come up with my own version of it. Everyone loves it that tries it. A lot of ingredients but very easy to make. Serve over rice!"

  • 4 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 stalk lemon grass, chopped (optional)
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh red chile peppers

This is a great soup. It was tough to find the Tamarind soup base, but it's a must for this...
