Tom Yum Soup with Chicken & Shrimp

  • 900 ml container chicken broth
  • 400 ml can regular coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce
  • 2 to 3 kaffir-lime leaves
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into thin bite-sized strips
  • 227 g pkg sliced mushrooms
  • 1 ripe tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 454 g pkg medium shrimp, peeled
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  1. Pour broth and coconut milk into a large saucepan and set over medium. Whisk in sugar and chili-garlic sauce. Add lime leaves. Cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Add chicken, mushrooms, tomato and shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 min. (If using enoki mushrooms, stir in with cilantro at the end of cooking.)
  3. Stir lime juice, fish sauce and cilantro into soup. Soup will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 1 day.
  • Pantry Tip:

    Can’t find lime leaves? Substitute 1/2 tsp lime zest.
