PRAWN SOUP

Photobucket

If you are soup lover like me and used to buy those ready made soup, you should consider trying this recipe. So simple to put together and the best part is you can add any vegetable of your choice beside the carrot I'd used here.

Traditionally, most of soup recipe requires you to puree them but I prefer not to do that but this is a personal preference. Serve this Prawn Soup with toasted bread and now you can enjoy light and nutritious meal, much more tasty than the store bought ones.

Medeja...Lemon grass will impart nice fragrance but if unavailable you can omit them and that won't change the taste of the soup anyway...
