How to Make Tom Yum Soup
Prepare Broth: Start by peeling the prawns and placing their heads and shells in a pot. Crush the garlic, chilies, and lemongrass, adding them with kaffir lime leaves, galangal, chicken stock, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain the broth for maximum flavor.
Finish Soup: Return the strained broth to the pot and add the onions and mushrooms first. Simmer for 3 minutes until tender. Next, add the tomatoes and prawns, cooking until the prawns turn pink and are just done, about 2 minutes.
Season: Stir in sugar and fish sauce, tasting along the way. Adjust the seasoning—balancing sweetness, saltiness, and sourness—until it’s just right for you.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with freshly squeezed lime juice. Garnish each bowl with coriander and fresh chilies. For the creamy version, incorporate the Thai chili paste and evaporated milk at the seasoning step for a delightful twist.
