Tom yum is a classic Thai-style hot and sour soup. The word “tom” refers to the boiling process, while “yum” translates to “mixed.” Flavored with lemongrass, Thai red chiles, garlic, galangal, lime leaves, soy sauce, cremini mushrooms, lime juice, and cilantro, it is complex, yet comforting. Coconut milk provides richness and a silky mouthfeel, while cubed extra-firm tofu adds body. Control the spice, salt, and acid levels by adjusting the amount of Thai chiles, soy sauce, and lime juice to your taste.
