Thai Salmon Soup with Lemongrass and Galangal
This is an impressively elegant soup that will not be out of place in a fancy party, yet super easy and really fast to prepare. Sure it can get a bit pricey with the salmon, but you can always use other fish of your choice, or even shrimps! ;)

Hi Anita Made this just now for dinner. However I noticed tha the galangal is missing from the ingredient list and cooking instructions. Anw, thanks for the recipe :)
Hi Chris, I am so terribly sorry about the missing galangal, the recipe has been updated. Thanks again.♥
I just wanted to say that I made this tonight for dinner and it was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
You are welcome Cori.
Delicious and easy. One of my favorite salmon recipes. The broth cooked down very quickly so I suggest checking the level several times to avoid over-cooking the fish and burning the sauce.
