Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 quart low sodium chicken broth
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 1 inch peeled galangal root sliced into discs (or substitute ginger root)
- 4 wild lime leaves (Kaffir lime leaves) optional
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 pound white mushrooms washed and quartered
- 1/2 pound de-veined shrimp
- 2 Tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 Bird's Eye chilies stemmed, seeded, and minced
- 4 Tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Bring the chicken broth along with two cups of water to a boil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the lemongrass, galangal (or ginger) root, and lime leaves (if using). Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the tomatoes and mushrooms, then simmer for three minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the lime juice, minced chilies, and cilantro leaves in the bottom of a large serving bowl.
- Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until pink and opaque, about a minute. Stir in the fish sauce and chili-garlic sauce. Transfer the soup to the serving bowl, and enjoy.
Notes
-When I make this for my family, I leave the lemongrass stalks, galangal root, and lime leaves in and just make them eat around them.
-For guests, you may want to strain them out before serving.
You can store Thai Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat leftovers either in the microwave or on the stove over medium heat until the soup is warm throughout. If the soup has thickened in the fridge, you can add a little water or broth to adjust the consistency during reheating.
