Thai herbs are full of immune-boosting compounds so great in winter or at the onset of a cold!

You can substitute left over chicken meat for the prawns.

    This soup is absolutely delicious and flavoursome. I would recommend doubling for a family of 4x. Definitely a favourite now and I'll be making it again. I followed it to the recipe and added chicken instead of prawns, as per tip. Only as I didn't have any prawns. The teens loved it. I served it with a side of rice just to extend it. I did make one small change and chopped up the lemon grass more so that I didn't get stick bits through it. Finally, I've found a soup to make in thermo that is full of flavour...

    This soup was THE BEST! I cooked it without the prawns (as I'm vegetarian), took my share out then added prawns to the rest. I substituted the fish sauce with Vegan oyster sauce. Every one in the family loved it! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    Tum Yum soup is a favorite of my husbands so when he started feeling a cold coming on I found this recipe. It is now on our menu on a regular basis whether anyone has a cold or not.

    I used canned tomatoes as that was all I had, and it still came out briliantly.

    Absolutely great receipe! Tried it more more than twice now with a bit of tinkering, however what are the heat settings from step 3 to 5 ? Varoma down to 100 I am guessing! Tried steaming the chicken pieces in dish above bowl to try and capture the smell and flavours. U fortunately for me the chicken dried out too much which indicates over cooking ? Will try your method suggested though next time and see if it makes a difference!
