Tom Yum Soup image

After eating at one of my favorite Thai restaurants one evening, I asked if the chef would mind sharing the ingredients to a soup I enjoyed. To my happiness, he did so, and then I came home to learn more about this soup online. I have not yet made this soup, but look forward to doing so. I found this recipe on www.thaitable.com and it sounds perfect. I'd love to hear any suggestions! If it's made properly, it should be hot, so be forewarned. It would be great for colds and stuffy noses :-)

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups water
1 cup mushroom (oyster or straw would work well)
1 -2 lime
1 stalk lemongrass
3 kaffir lime leaves (if you can't find leaves, substitute with zest from 3 limes)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
5 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 -3 chili peppers (or use chili sauce to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash mushrooms and set aside.
  • Crush lemongrass with back of knife to release flavor. Tie in a knot and drop into pot of water.
  • Bring water to a boil.
  • Add mushrooms.
  • Pull kaffir lime leaves from their stems and place in water. If using lime zest instead, add it.
  • Turn off heat on stove.
  • Crush chili peppers and place into a serving bowl. This will make the dish very spicy. If you don't want as much heat, don't crush the peppers, or only crush one. (If you prefer, omit the peppers entirely and use bottled chili sauce).
  • Add fish sauce and juice from limes into bowl.
  • Pour lemongrass broth into serving bowl.
  • Taste, adjust fish sauce and lime if needed.
  • Serve, sprinkled with cilantro.

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The flavors are incredible!

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful without it.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the spicy broth and the tender vegetables.

This soup is the perfect way to use up leftover rice. I always have a container of cooked rice in my fridge, so this soup is a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the shrimp and fish sauce. The soup was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I made this soup in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is way too spicy for me. I could barely eat a few bites.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong type of mushrooms.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The flavors were still very complex and delicious.
