Tips
You can make the soup without the coconut cream if you prefer. Add in the lemon juice only when the heat is turned off to retain its vibrancy.
To make a vegetarian version replace the chicken with veggies and opt out of adding the fish sauce.
Serve with a bowl of steamed rice or add in rice noodles to the soup.
