Ingredients
- 1 litre vegetable stock, refrigerated
- 4 limes (lemons can also be used)
- 1 stalk lemongrass, sliced
- 1 thumb minced ginger

Directions
- Place vegetable stock, lime juice, lemongrass, ginger, shallot, lime leaves, salt, and pepper into a blender to bruise ingredients and pulverize the lemongrass fibers. After 30 seconds or so, strain the soup into a pitcher or container. Season with a heavier hand than usual.
