• 150g store-bought Thai tom yum paste
• 2 tbs fish sauce
• Juice of 1 lime

Method

1. In a pan or a wok, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the coriander stems, lemongrass, ginger, and chilli. Add a pinch of salt and allow this mixture to heat up and release its aromatic oils, stirring occasionally. Gently bruise and tear the kaffir lime leaves, add to the pan and stir.
2. Add in the stock, tom yum paste, and fish sauce and let come to the boil. Once the stock is infused with the aromas, add the prawns, fish, mushrooms, and tomatoes to the pot.
3. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the prawns and fish are just cooked through.
4. Divide the soup into serving bowls, ensuring each bowl has a good amount of the prawns, fish, mushrooms, and broth. Serve immediately, topped with extra coriander leaves for garnish.
