Tom Yum Soup

So I got this super easy and delicious recipe that you can make anytime and it really turns out fabulous

Ingredients:
1 bunch Lemon grass leaves and root
4 - 5 Lime Leaves
1/2 Packet Mushrooms
2 Tomatoes, peeled and chopped
500 ml Chicken stock
100gr chicken breast chopped OR if you have prawns, nothing like it!
2 bird eye Chillies (my veggie dude gives me these free if I ask him for 1 or 2)
1 tbsp fish sauce
Some lemon Juice
Small handful of Coriander

Method
keep the chicken stock to boil with lime leaves, lemon grass and the bird eye chillies and tomato cubes (depending on how spicy you want to make your soup you can put the chillies accordingly)
let it boil out a bit and add the mushrooms and chicken and let it simmer for a bit
switch off the heat and add finally the fish sauce, lemon juice and salt according to taste
top with coriander and you're like totally done!!

Have fun with Thai cuisine

Ok so for the Vegetarian version of this soup all you have to do is take vegetable stock cube that is also available at your local store, leave out the chicken and add any fun veggies that you wish to add noodles you can and it's a nice addition and there is your vegetarian Soup!
