  5. Boil the soup for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms and onions are soft.
  6. Next, add about 3 tablespoons of fish sauce first, and 1 teaspoons of sugar. You may need more of each, but start with that.
  7. Turn heat off, add 1 tbsp of lime juice (depending on how sour you like it, add more if you like it really sour).
  8. Test taste the soup and adjust to your liking. You might need to add more fish sauce, sugar, or lime juice.
  9. Serve with rice or noodles. Enjoy.
