| This is what I found looking around. I will hit my books and see if I can find a better one. This recipe scares me since it doesnt have you strain out the lemon grass. So first I have how I would cook it. Then the recipe and how they say to cook it.
Might be a good idea to put the lemon grass (cut stalks into small pieces 1") into the stock, heat to boil, remove from heat and allow the lemon grass to infuse (like a tea) Strain and return to heat. Then add lime,fish sauce, crushed red pepper and shrimp, cook till almost done, add carrots cook till they start to get soft, add straw mushrooms and snow peas, remove from heat once the snow pees change to a good green color. Stir in cilantro (reserve a little for garnish) Sprinkle sliced chilie's on top along with some more cilantro. Garnish bowl with a lime wedge. (people can add more lime to taste)
Thai Lemongrass Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
8 C. chicken stock
1/2 - 1 bunch cilantro
1 can straw mushroom
16 large shrimps, peeled, deveined
1 C. snow peas
1/3 C. shredded carrots (just for color)
juice of 1 lime
1/2 - 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 chili pepper, cut into rings
4 Tbsp. nam plah (you can find at Oriental food stores, fish sauce)
a few stalks of lemongrass (I would use about 6)
Directions:
Bring the broth to a simmer. Add crushed red pepper and shrimp. Simmer for 5 min. Add lemongrass and simmer for another 5 min. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer a few minutes more. Be careful not to over cook or the vegetables will lose their color and will get limp.

| It works.  I have also (i believe) tracked sown the exact one I wanted using coconut milk broth and fish (poach the fish in the broth after infusing with lemongrass) I'll let you know if either turn out the way I hope. lol
