Authentic Thai Tom Yum Soup
- Prep: 10 mins Cook: 15 mins
- Serves: 6
An authentic Thai hot and sour soup. Do not attempt to omit the coriander, as this is essential. Use Thai basil instead of regular basil if you can find it. Tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chilli and decide if any extra heat is required.
