Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup (Tom Yum Kung) image

Tom Yum is made so many different ways that no two batches are really ever alike. Simultaneously spicy, tart, and sweet, this soup grows on you the more you eat it. Try it along with rice to cut some of the heat, or eat it throughout a meal for a welcome contrast.

This soup is delicious, but it's a bit too sour for my taste. I'll probably add less lime juice next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'll have to try it again.

I had some trouble finding galangal, but I was able to substitute ginger. The soup still turned out great.

This soup is amazing! It's the perfect balance of spicy, sour, and savory. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
