Creamy Tom Yum Soup

Creamy Tom Yum Soup

A rich and fragrant Thai soup that balances sour, spicy, salty, and sweet notes. This creamy variation uses evaporated milk and Thai chili jam to create a satisfying, deeply aromatic broth. Chef's tips: (1) Traditional aromatics like lemongrass, galangal, and makrut lime leaves are meant for infusing flavor and are typically not eaten. (2) Lime juice is preferred, but lemon juice works well as a substitute if limes are unavailable. (3) Do not boil the soup vigorously after adding the citrus juice, as it can make the soup taste bitter. (4) Keep leftover tofu stored in a container filled with fresh water in the fridge to prevent it from drying out.
