Recipe: Vegetable Tom Yum Soup

This is a fantastic meal that can be prepped ahead of time so that it only involves dumping some things is a pot and coming out with a delicious, spicy, tangy soup on the other side. I make this at least twice a month because it’s just so satisfying. You can customize the vegetables to your personal taste but you need mushrooms or tomatoes if you want it to have that extra umami in this meatless version. The tom yum paste I buy (from Lobo) doesn’t have shrimp paste so this dish is vegan as well!
