We both love thai soups, and I make thai food quite regularly, but this recipe really fell flat and was an absolute waste of my time and money. Not only am I left disappointed and dissatisfied with my dinner, but now I have to figure out to do with all the leftovers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582835921143770862.post-19627290426061445632011-03-19T20:00:18.673-06:002011-03-19T20:00:18.673-06:00This soup sounds really intriguing.
