Directions:Lemongrass preparation – remove tough outer leaves, cut off bulb, slice lemon grass, process in food processor.
Pour stock into a deep cooking pot and turn heat to medium-high.
Add processed lemongrass to the pot, including the parts of the lemongrass stalk you didn't slice
Boil for 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add garlic, chili, and lime leaves to broth. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Add noodles (if using) and stir until broken apart. Add shrimp, mushrooms, and bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5–8 minutes, or until noodles are done.
Turn down the heat to low and add the coconut milk and fish sauce. Test the soup for spice and salt, adding more chilies and/or fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired.
