I was so sure of that, I did an online recipe check and found the latter soup in clear forms–meaning that all the differences are as clear as mud. in any case, I like the coconut milk versions a lot, and agree with your blog post about the “3 essential ingredients:” kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and galangal–although I’ve been known to use ordinary ginger instead. I would further add cilantro to that list, as flat leaved parsley has very little beyond a slightly peppery flavor, IMO, and although some folks don’t care for cilantro (I am one of those with a genetic predisposition to find it tasting “soapy,” I have come to love it)–it has a unique and quite wonderful taste.
