Brilliant take on making Thai aromatics do double duty as soup base. That green puree idea isactually super versatile, tried somethng similar with extra basil last month and ended up using it as a pasta toss too. The lemongrass and kaffir lime must add ridiculous depth comapred to the usual ginger-only situation.
This looks great--reminds of one of my go-to soups, which is a variation I make on James Peterson's Thai Fish Soup (https://app.ckbk.com/recipe/sple75052c03s001r015/thai-fish-soup-with-tamarind). Holds up well for a 1993 Thai recipe in a book called "Splendid Soups" imo, and it's just 30 minutes of actual work if you use a blender instead of a mortar and pestle
V_ _ _M _ x better get on board soon, or some other super-blender is gonna be the star!
couldnt agree more!!!
