Fantastic authentic Thai hot and sour soup. Ideal as a starter in a Thai meal. Not very filling, but a great appetizer. Very quick and easy to prepare. The tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chile and decide if any extra heat is required. Do not attempt if you do not have fresh coriander, as this is vital!
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon tom yum paste
- ½ clove garlic, finely chopped
- 3 stalks lemon grass, chopped
- 2 makrut lime leaves
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – shredded
- 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped green chile pepper
- 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 sprig fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the tom yum paste and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon grass and lime leaves. Place the chicken in the saucepan, and cook 5 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
Step 2
Mix in the mushrooms. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and green chile pepper. Continue cooking until well blended. Remove from heat, and serve warm with the coriander and basil.
Note
Prawns (approximately 1/2 pound) may be substituted for chicken in this recipe. Cook them only until opaque. If lime leaves are not available, substitute 1 tablespoon lime zest.
