This was my first time making a Thai dish and I was so pleased the way it came out that I had to share this with you. I was actually in the mood for Chicken Noodle Soup, but while I was in the grocery store, I was inspired to make this Thai soup using this new Swanson Thai Ginger broth I found. I thought I was going to have to add a few pieces of ginger or salt to boost the flavor of the broth, but to my surprise, it was amazing and quick. I didn't have time to take a lot pictures, but hopefully you'll be inspired to try it.What I love about this recipe is that you can all whatever vegetables you like. I used yellow squash, carrots, red and orange bell pepper, and shrimp. Delish!
