Chef's Notes
Do not let the lime juice boil away, or you will lose that bright, zesty punch. Add it off the heat if you want maximum fragrance!
Pro Tip
Bruise your lemongrass stalks with the back of a knife before chopping to unleash their hidden aromatic potential.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to boil this soup after adding the lime juice, or if you treat the delicate makrut leaves like stubborn bay leaves and leave them in for guests to choke on, I shall personally strip you of your apron and banish you to plain canned tomato soup for the rest of your days!
