Tom Yum Soup (Kim)

This soup makes you feel deliciously healthy especially if you have a cold - perfect in winter.

Combine in pot:
4 cups chicken stock
1 stalk lemongrass (lower 1/3 minced. If you can't find it just omit - I've made it both ways)
3 lime leaves (I've never been able to find these. I just give a squirt of lime juice)
12-14 medium or large raw (or cooked) shrimp, shelled
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1-2 small red chilies minced or 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chilies
3 cloves garlic, minced
a handful of cherry tomatoes
generous handful of fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced (I've used regular too)
1 green or red bell pepper, sliced
a few bunches of broccoli are nice if you have them
1 can coconut milk
1/3 c. fresh coriander, roughly chopped
