Vegetarian Tom Yum is a vibrant Thai soup that balances spicy, sour, salty, and sweet flavors. The aroma of lemongrass and lime instantly brings the streets of Bangkok to your kitchen, while its bright color makes it visually irresistible.


Variations

Add tofu or soy protein for a heartier version. Coconut milk creates a softer, creamier texture. Lemon zest with ginger works well if lemongrass is unavailable.


Flavor secrets

Add mushrooms at the final stage to keep them firm. Cut vegetables into large pieces and add spices gradually for layered flavor.


Ingredient tips

Button mushrooms can be replaced with shiitake or oyster mushrooms. Galangal can be swapped for ginger, and lime leaves for lemon or lime zest.


Small culinary notes

Do not boil the soup after adding lime juice to avoid bitterness. Adjust spiciness by controlling the amount of chili paste.
