Tom Yum Soup

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine chicken stock, tom yum paste, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, lime juice and fish sauce. Add chili and sugar, and stir.

Step 2

Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Add mushrooms, and simmer 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and scallions, and simmer until shrimp is barely opaque, 2 to 3 more minutes.

Step 3

To serve, divide soup between two bowls. Garnish each with 1 tablespoon cilantro, and serve.
