Vegetable Tom Yum Soup image

This is a vegetable version of the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. You can find lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal (a close relative of ginger) at any Asian supermarket. If you can't find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try adding some more lemongrass and galangal next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding some coconut milk.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added a cup of cooked rice to the soup and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was just the right amount of heat for me.

I love the versatility of this soup. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I added some extra lemongrass and galangal for a more intense flavor, and I also added some bok choy and baby corn.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and mushrooms that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in the soup. It turned out great!

This soup was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The combination of vegetables, lemongrass, and galangal created a fragrant and savory broth, while the addition of mushrooms and tofu added a satisfying umami dimension. I especially enjoyed t
