Tom Yum is a classic Thai soup that is beloved for its complex and flavorful broth. The soup is typically made with shrimp or chicken, but this vegetarian version is just as delicious, and it's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The key to a great Tom Yum soup is the broth. The broth is made with a combination of vegetable broth, Tom Yum paste, and coconut milk. The Tom Yum paste is a blend of chili peppers, garlic, lemongrass, and galangal. It gives the soup its characteristic spicy and sour flavor. Once the broth is simmering, the vegetables are added. The vegetables in this soup are mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, and spinach. The vegetables are cooked until they are tender, but still have a bit of a crunch. The lime juice is added at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors of the soup. Tom Yum soup is typically served with rice or noodles. It can also be served with a side of chili paste, for those who like their soup extra spicy.
