River Prawn Tom Yum, the spicy Thai soup, has become everyone’s favorite because of the spicy, intense, delicious taste. Start heating water until boiling, add lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and simmer for a few minutes before adding fresh shrimp, followed by straw mushrooms. When boiling, season as you like before adding coconut cream. Garnish with parsley. The soup goes well when eaten with steamed jasmine rice.
