During this cold season, I am always craving for comfort food and one-pot soup is one of my regulars from my little kitchen. A hot and sour pot soup is even marvelous! Yes, Thai style Tom Yum Soup that's what's on my mind.
In my this One Pot Tom Yum Soup I had used seafood combinations with two types of mushrooms. It turns out wonderful! If you not fancy of a sour taste in the soup, you may reduce the amount of the lime juice. Same goes to those do not want the soup to be too hot, you may reduce the amount of the bird chilies or the Tom Yum paste.
I only used prawns as my major seafood in this soup as I love the prawns with Tom Yum combinations. You may try to add on with squids, fish or even mussels. As I like the soup to be milky, I had added with evaporated milk instead of coconut milk which is a normal practice. Reason is not wishing the strong taste of the coconut milk to cover the original taste of the Tom Yum soup. This is a very easy to make and the taste is just amazing!
