Add the cilantro, tomatoes, and lime juice.  Taste - the soup should be fragrant, with a rich (read: nicely fatty) taste, and a mix of sweet/sour/salty flavors in the broth.  You can tweak the latter with more sugar (sweet), lime juice (sour), or fish sauce (salty and tangy).

Serve hot.

This soup keeps beautifully, and will taste even better the next day after the flavors mingle overnight.  You may want to hit it with a bit more fresh lime after reheating, though, just to keep it zippy.

I really enjoyed this version. Everything complimented each other and the aroma was just awesome. I followed everything except for the corn, tomato, and the Kaffir leaves (could not find the leaves). I grated a whole lime instead. I added a little bit more brown sugar at the end to suite my taste and sliced the chicken into very thin strips. Everyone has his or her own tastes. As a recipe untouched, I think it is well balanced. Thanks a lot for adding your own suggestions and options as many don't.
