Tom Yum soup

Asian food has some of the best soups in the world! From the rich coconut Laksa Noodle Soup to Vietnamese Beef Pho, and Japanese Ramen, there’s a vast variety and Thailand’s Tom Yum Soup is right up there with the best of them. And the bonus? Tom Yum Soup is good for you, with just 156 calories per serving and very low fat.

TWO TYPES OF TOM YUM

First up, let me explain that there’s two different types of Tom Yum Soup:

• Clear Tom Yum Soup (Tom Yum Goong Nam Sai); and
  
• CREAMY Tom Yum Soup (Tom Yum Goong Nam Khon) which is made from the clear version with the addition of evaporated milk and a good hit of Thai Chilli Paste.

I’ve no idea which is more popular, and truthfully I like both equally so I don’t play favourites. The creamy version has a slightly bigger flavour punch because of the addition of the chilli paste. The evaporated milk really doesn’t add flavour, it just changes the appearance.
