Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Authentic Thai Tom Yum Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large pot and pouring in the vegetable broth along with the raw shrimp.
Step 2
Place it over medium-high heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling nicely, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
After the shrimp have cooked through, carefully lift them out of the broth, discard the shells, and set the shrimp aside for later.
Step 5
Now, let’s infuse that broth with some vibrant flavors! Add in the fresh lime juice and pulp, quartered chile peppers, lemongrass, slices of ginger, tom yum paste, fish sauce, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of chile sauce.
Step 6
Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing those delicious flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Once the time is up, use a slotted spoon to fish out and discard the chile peppers, lemongrass, and ginger slices from the broth.
Step 8
It’s time to bring back the shrimp! Gently return the cooked shrimp to the pot and take it off the heat.
Step 9
Now, ladle the fragrant soup into bowls, and for that finishing touch, sprinkle on some sliced mushrooms and green onions.
Step 10
Serve it up and enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of deliciousness that’s sure to brighten your day!.
