Tom Yum Veg Soup Recipe
Tom Yum soup is a flavourful Thai soup that has become popular around the world. Traditionally made with chicken or shrimp, but I have made it vegetarian using fresh vegetables like mushroom, tofu and tomatoes. To keep the signature Thai flavour and aroma, ingredients such as kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and Thai red chilli paste are added to give the soup its distinctive taste.
