This is my all time favorite soup every time we eat Thai I order it. I was a little bit skeptical of trying to make this at home only because every recipe had a different variation and some called for Tom Yum Soup Mix that had MSG, no thank you. This is another recipe that probably isn't authentic since I kind of did my own thing, but it was delicious.This ended up being so flavorful with a perfect balance of flavors, a must make for any sickies in the house. It's super easy to make and will be something we enjoy more often now that I have the sauces in the fridge. Please adjust the heat to your liking by adding more Thai chili's or garlic chili paste. The hubby and kids have already asked to eat this again along with Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls. I found my ingredients at store that carries a very large Asian food section, if you don't have a supermarket with a large Asian section I would go to an Asian store. They will be able to help you find what you need.
Place Water, Lemon Grass, Keffir Lime Leaves, Fish Sauce, Thai Red Chili, Fish Sauce, Honey, Roasted Red Chili Paste,Tamarind Paste and Chili Garlic Sauce.
Bring to a simmer and turn to low.Cook for 15 minutes.
Add Shrimp, Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Cook another 10 minutes. Remove from heat. I had leftover glass noodles and mung bean sprouts from making the Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls so I add those, 1 Tomato, fresh Lime juice, Thai Basil and Cilantro. Adjust heat by adding more Garlic Chili Sauce. Enjoy!

Mmmm, I bet it smells amazing when cooking. Looks very tempting. Bookmarked! Thank you for sharing, Serena! Hope you had a fabulous weekend!
This is my favorite Thai soup too! I think your's sounds delicious. We are fortunate to have lots of Thai grocery stores in the area so many of the ingredients I need are available.
Best,
Bonnie
Perfect timing with this post: I just got some lemon grass and other ingredients from the farmers market. Looks absolutely delicious!
Hi Serena, delicious tom yam soup. Yours look good, I like the shrimps. My favorite too.
Have a nice day.
I have never actually made this soup but I have tried it before and it is unforgettable! I really do like everything about it. I do need to try this at home, but it will require a trip to the specialty grocers, but I think it would be well worth it. Great recipe and your photo really entices!
Love tom yam soup! Authentic or not, your soup looks so delicious and comforting to me!
I love tom yum soup :) And I've been liking all your Asian inspired recipes :) Way to go on keeping it more authentic through the use of tamarind paste - it adds a wonderful sourness to the dish.
