Yvonne’s Chicken Tom Yum Soup

Serves 2

A tasty and nutritious recipe from our talented chef Yvonne. Great for a chilly weekday evening. Great excuse for a few prawn crackers.

Method

Pour the chicken stock into a pot and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the chillies, lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal slices, and shallots. Bring to a gentle boil.

Add the sliced chicken and peppers and allow to cook through for approximately 5-10 minutes. Add the tomatoes (if using), broccoli & mange tout. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Season the soup with fish sauce, lime juice, and roasted chilli paste. Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Remove from the heat, add chopped herbs. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice.
