Sounds great, but you lost me with the Thai fish sauce - never heard of that.

Thai fish sauce is available in most any supermarket these days in the 'asian' section usually near other thai ingredients. This recipe would not be the same without the fish sauce! It adds an interesting pungent depth the the soup.

Many asian cultures have their own varient of fish sauce, and it actually dates back to Roman culture where fish sauce (garum) was an extremely popular seasoning.

By the way, fish sauce is actually created by fermenting fish!
