this is delicious soup!!! i share my recipe:

Two servings:
Chicken stock……………….1 liter (4 standard cups)
Lemongrass…………………2 stalks
Galangal………………………1 medium size root (70g or 2,5oz)
Кaffir lime leaves…………7 leaves
Fish sauce Nam Pla……..4 table spoons (60ml)
Thai chili paste……………2 table spoons (30ml)
Lime…………………………..2 limes
Mushrooms………………100g or 3,5oz
Chili peppers…………….1 to 5 pieces (1 is not so spicy, 5 pcs is pretty hot)
Prawns ……………………..0,5 kg or 1,1lb
Coriander………………….A little
The base of classic Tom Yum Goong is chicken stock, but many cooks in Thailand use beef stock or even their mixture as well. Bring the stock to boil.
First step: prepare galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Slice galangal and lemongrass and add them to stock with kaffir lime leaves. Then bring your stock back to boil.
Second step: add mushrooms, fish sauce and chilli paste.
Third and last step: Remove shells from prawns except tails and put them to stock. Press juice out of limes and add sliced chili peppers. As soon as prawns turn red add coriander and your first true Tom Yum is ready.

actually the problem is no to cook it, but to collect all these ingredients! I used to buy ingredients in Thailand when I go there for vacation. But now I’ve run out of my stock, and order all the ingredients online through thai tom yum shop! I use this one: Tom Yum recipe .com, but you can google your own favorite tom yum shop))
And where do you get tom yum ingredients from?
