I have been skipping my lunch and having soups for lunch. This is one soup which i made today and enjoyed it to the core..I will soon share the cabbage soup, broccoli soup which i made..This is the first time i made this soup and loved it so much. Tom yum is nothing but a authentic thai spicy and sour soup. There are so many variations of this soup all over the internet, this is my version and it is a veg recipe. Will soon share a non veg version of it..
