A dear friend of mine and ex-neighbour Yew Hong shared this recipe with me so many years ago, probably more than 10 years. I have closely followed this recipe whenever the craving for something spicy, tangy and soupy comes along. And anyone who knows me well will know that a bowl of clear tasty soup will win me over anytime anyday!

​Tom Yum Soup can also made using a ready made paste available in many Asian grocery stores but the floating chilli oil puts me off. I prefer making this easy clear version sans oil. It is flavorful and gives a wonderful kick after your first spoonful! Trust me you'll be back for seconds! 


Ingredients for Stock
5 cups of water
2 Lemongrass, cut into 3 each and crushed to release its essence
6 slices of Blue Ginger
10 coriander roots
4 small onions ( shallots )

Method 
Get all the ingredients ready.

Boil everything for 10-15 mins. Strain and keep the stock. Discard the vegetables.
