"Found this recipe in a paper a while back. So easy to make with a beautiful Thai flavour and aroma. You can replace the coconut milk with replace 400ml with vegetable stock for a lighter broth if desired."

After 20 minutes of debearding the 1 1/4 kilogram of mussels and went to assemble all the other ingredients to find I had forgot to buy the lemongrass so was omitted and what I thought was coconut milk in the pantry was coconut cream so used a 275ml can of cream and a 165ml of milk and mixed together otherwise made as a 1 serve recipe which I thoroughly enjoyed though I garnished with parsley as I am not a fan of coriander and with about half the broth left over so put into a container and plan on adding some cooked rice and Asian greens to make a soup for lunch in the next day or two. Thanks Tisme for a great dinner made for Alphabet Soup tag game.
