Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Great flavor
added noodles and zucchini
5/5! Sensational! Bursting with flavour and SO simple to make. This will be a regular for us after making it for the first time last week. I personally don't like chilli so omitted this in the recipe but bought a fresh chilli to use as the garnish for my husband. We both loved this recipe with/without the chilli. Thank you kindly for sharing this recipe.
So delicious and so easy! love this recipe!
There are not enough stars for this dish. It's just brilliant. It's spot on what you'd get at Thai. Truly delicious - well done!
I used marinara mix and added a can of Asian vegetable ie sprouts, water chestnuts, mini corn etc to the mix with the champignons.
so good. So, so good.
This was delicious!! I had to go back for thirds as my kids kept asking me for "just one more mouthful" from my bowl over and over again! Thank you, what a fantastic recipe!
Amazing recipe. It was as good as what we had in our favourite Thai restaurant. We made it fir dinner served with rice and I must admit I could not stop eating... so good. The only thing is make sure you keep an eye in your thermie, as it can overflow when boiling (mine did a lot). I ended up adjusting temperature to 95°C to prevent this to happen again.
Thanks for sharing this recipe 
For sure we will make it again
Our fave soup, no more takeaway. I add thinly sliced cabbage, more chilli and serve with rice 👌🏼
Loved this! Solid 5 star review.
Hi Tanya - awesome recipe - great flavours and very easy. Will definitely make again. Thanks
