Tom Yum Soup is an easy-to-make, hot, and sour Thai clear soup recipe where the flavors come from the addition of galangal, lemongrass, and lime. This soup is my favorite comfort food during winter.

Notes

If you can't find galangal, then add additional ginger slices.
Add boiled noodles just before serving to make a Thai noodle soup. A complete meal in itself.
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 made this tom yum soup oil-free. To get the restaurant-style taste, you can add chile oil.
If it becomes too sour, add a little extra brown sugar.
You can add ½ coconut milk and ½ water while making this soup.

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