Tom Yum Soup (Thai Soup)

lime juice

Coriander/cilantro (, for garnish)

tbsp Thai roasted chili sauce ((Nam Prik Pa, Note 6))

(75 ml) evaporated milk

Peel the prawns. Place heads and shell in pot, reserve meat.

Use a meat mallet or similar to bash the garlic, chilli and lemongrass so they burst open to release flavour. Add into pot.

Crush kaffir lime leaves with your hands. Add into pot.

Add galangal, stock and water. Bring to simmer on high heat, cover, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.

Strain the broth, discard the prawn shells etc, then return broth into same pot over low heat.

Broth:

This Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp, or tom yum goong, is surprisingly easy to make with a few key ingredients like Thai chilies, lemongrass, lime leaves, and fish sauce. 

Tom Yum Soup

vegetable oil

water

chicken stock

lemongrass

shallots ((or 1 large shallot, smashed))

cilantro stem ((washed, smashed, reserve leaves for garnish))

galangal

makrut lime leaves ((torn roughly))

chilies

beech (shimeji) or oyster mushrooms

sugar

Thai chili paste ((nam prik pao, optional))

fish sauce

lime juice ((you'll need about 1 1/2 limes))

Peel the shrimp and remove the heads. Reserve the meat and the shells separately.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your wok over medium high heat, and add the shrimp shells. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the shells turn a bright and deep orange. Add 3 cups of water, and bring to a simmer. Cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the shells from the stock using a strainer, and add the chicken stock.

Take the lemongrass, and trim away the dry reedy bit about halfway up the stalk, and then trim the base. Peel the tough outer layers away to reveal the more tender center. Smash the lemon grass using a mallet or heavy rolling pin (one without handles).

Cut the smashed lemongrass stalk into 2-inch (5 cm) lengths, and add it to the broth in the wok. Also add the shallots, cilantro stem, galangal, lime leaves, and thai chilies.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can remove the inedible herbs and aromatics from the pot using a fine-meshed strainer, but we like to leave them in, as is traditional in Thailand.

Add the mushrooms, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, Thai chili paste and fish sauce. Stir until the chili paste has fully dissolved in the soup.

Finally, add the shrimp, and simmer for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on their size, until they’re just cooked through.

Add the lime juice to your serving bowl, and ladle the hot tom yum soup into the bowl. (You don’t want to cook the lime juice. You want to preserve its fresh flavor. You also want to avoid putting large amounts of acidic lime juice into your wok, which can wear away the patina).

Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

Tom Yum Soup - the BEST Thai Tom Yum Goong recipe you'll find online. Loaded with shrimp and mushroom, Tom Yum is spicy, sour, savory, and addictive!

Instant Pot Thai Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp is full of bright, bold flavors of sour, salty, and spicy. This famous Thai soup is the perfect comfort food for cooler weather. Plus, it’s super easy making it in an Instant Pot!&nbsp;

Instant Pot Thai Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp 

2-3 shallot, julienned. (2.5 oz)

galangal,

kaffir lime leaves, torn into large pieces

cilantro stems,

tomatoes. Cherry

oz mushroom,

Tom Yum paste

Step one

Prep the shrimp to make broth. Peel off shrimp shells and tails to make a shrimp stock.&nbsp;

Step two

Place in a large saucepan and fill with 6 cups of water.&nbsp;On medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Drain the stock into a medium bowl over a strainer. Discard the cooked shells.

Step three

Add tom yum paste, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir leaves, shallot, cilantro stems, tomatoes, and the stock in an instant pot. Stir until the paste breaks apart.&nbsp;

Step four

Turn the instant pot setting to the soup or pressure cook for 5 minutes. Prepare your bowls, garnish, and seasoning for when the soup is ready. After the instant pot is done cooking, we will quickly release the pressure by carefully turning the valve to quick release and letting them out. Again, use extra caution when using an instant pot.

Step five

Once the pressure is all released, open the lid, be careful with the condensation and high heat, then add the shrimp, mushroom, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar and stir well together.&nbsp;

Step six

Turn the instant pot setting to “Sautéed” on medium heat for 3 minutes. It doesn't take long for the shrimp and mushroom to cook.&nbsp;The lid stays off. (I removed the lid for the sauteeing function after I took the photo!)&nbsp;

Step seven

Once the instant pot is done, stir the soup well. Carefully taste the soup's flavor and adjust it with more fish sauce, fresh lime juice, or sugar. If the flavors are too strong, add 1/2-1 cup of water of stock to help reduce the strong taste.&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember, Thai Tom Yum Soups are traditionally known for their strong tasty flavors that lean on the sour/tangy side. But adapt as needed!&nbsp;

Step eight

Remove the lemongrass stalks before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chilis, or slices of jalapeños for extra heat! That's it for this easy recipe! Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tablespoons fish sauce

Tablespoon chili-garlic sauce

lime (juiced)

Tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

Delicious and warming, Tom Yum Soup is a classic Thai soup that is best known for its clear, sour broth infused with lemongrass and galangal. Make this vegetarian with tofu, or add shrimp or chicken!

oz crispy tofu, shrimp, or chicken breast

chicken stock or beef stock

stalks,

lime

Thai Chili Paste. Look

mushrooms,

cabbage,

bell peppers, sliced into 1 1/2 inch pieces

shallot,

Roma tomato,

tablespoons fish sauce. Adjust

tamarind concentrate or lime juice.

If making crispy tofu&#8211; cook according to this post: Crispy Tofu  (with salt and pepper) and set aside. Use firm tofu for this recipe to keep the tofu from breaking. If using chicken or other protein, wait to add it towards the end. See notes for chicken or shrimp. 

Make the broth by combining stock, water lemongrass, galangal, kaffir leaves, and cilantro stems in a large soup pot. Bring everything to a boil on medium-high heat for around 10 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium, add the Thai chili paste, fish sauce, and sugar, and stir well.

Add the vegetables and let them cook for 5 minutes. (If using chicken or shrimp, add it now and cook until cooked through.)

Add the tofu, tamarind (or lime juice)  last, and turn the heat off. Taste and adjust with more fish sauce or salt and lime juice.

Serve immediately alone or with a small bowl of rice, rice noodles, a tasty baguette, or sourdough bread. Garnish with a generous amount of cilantro and more lime wedges!

Delicious!  I will reduce the sambal olek the next time, a bit too firey for us, but otherwise a perfect winter soup.
