    TOM YUM SOUP

    Published: Jan 7, 2016 by Kushi · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Tom Yum Soup is a hot and sour, healthy and flavorful Thai soup recipe that is perfect comfort food during winter.Tom Yum Soup

    During winter, I feel hungrier and eat often and I hope its the same for all of you. To compensate for frequent food intake, I try to eat and drink healthy food, and soups always come to my rescue.

    This soup is oil-free, easy to make, refreshing and spicy; and is perfect for the cold weather. This soup helps cure cold. I love to have vegetarian version of this soup. However, if you are non-vegetarian feel free to include shrimp or your favorite meat.

    The combined flavor of fresh lemongrass, lime juice, galangal, crushed red chiles and thai green pepper is just amazing. Make sure you have equal balance of sour and spiciness in the recipe. There are different variations to this soup. Below is my version of Tom Yum Soup.

    Preparation time : 30 minutes
    Serves : 3 to 4

    Ingredients for Tom Yum Soup

    Mushroom - 4 oz (1 can)
    Shitake mushroom - 6
    Carrot finely chopped - ½
    Green Chilies / Thai pepper - 3
    Jaggery - 1 tsp
    Galangal thin slices - 3
    Ginger thin slices  - 3
    Coriander stalks finely chopped - 5
    Worcestershire sauce - 1 tbsp*
    Soya sauce - 1 tbsp
    Tofu - 4 oz
    Lime juice - 2 ½ to 3 tbsp
    Lemongrass stalk chopped - 1 ½ tbsp
    Red chilie crushed - 1
    Salt - to taste
    Bouillon cube - 1
    Water - approx 5 cup
    Spring onions chopped - 1
    Cilantro / Coriander leaves - for garnish

    Steps to prepare Tom Yum Soup
    • In a pot add all the ingredients mentioned in the list together and bring it to nice boil.
    • Reduce the heat to medium-low flame and simmer for atleast 20 minutes till all the flavors are well combined.
    • Garnish it with cilantro / coriander leaves just before you serve.
    • Tom Yum Soup is now ready. Serve hot and enjoy

    Substitution and tips

    • If you can't find galangal, then add additional ginger slices.
    • You can substitute jaggery with brown sugar / sugar.
    • If you find lime leaves, feel free to add 3 to 4 in the recipe.
    • You can substitute worcestershire and soya sauce with fish sauce.
    • This soup tastes the best when served hot and spicy. So try to make it spicier.

    *I have used a vegan / vegetarian version of Worcestershire sauce. Make sure you check the ingredient list in the sauce before you use it.
