Always popular in Asian restaurants, this soup is actually easy to make. Sweet chili sauce, lemongrass and fish sauce are now available in most supermarkets. Don't confuse traditional tomato chili sauce with the Southeast Asian sweet chili sauce. If you can't find it, you can use 1 tsp (5 mL) of the hotter Asian sauce or hot pepper sauce instead. Lime leaves can be found fresh, frozen and dried in Asian stores. Freeze any remaining fresh leaves, wrapped well, for up to eight weeks.
