There's nothing quite like soup to lift your spirits on a grey, gloomy day. And there's nothing quite like Tom Yum Soup to lift them even higher. For me, especially so because so much of what goes in comes from the garden!
Lemon grass stalks, ginger, lime leaves, coriander stalks, basil leaves, limes, chicken or vegetable stock. And a green chilly if you can stomach it!
Vegetables: Cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, greens, capsicums.

It's a simple, delicious soup that warms the cockles of your heart. The first step is to make the delicious clear soup. Of course, if you don't have all these ingredients at hand, just go get yourself a packet of Tom Yum Soup mix!
Ingredients
Lemon grass stalks, ginger, lime leaves, coriander stalks, basil leaves, limes, chicken or vegetable stock. And a green chilly if you can stomach it!
Vegetables: Cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, greens, capsicums.
,
Boil the lemon grass, ginger, lime leaves, coriander, chilly and some of the basil leaves in the stock. When the stock tastes of ginger and lemon grass, add the lime juice (and salt to taste) and remove from the stove. In another pan, saute the vegetables chopped large, for five minutes and add to the stock and serve with basil leaves.
(Optional: you can add chicken or prawns to the soup. And a dash of fish sauce.)
