Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 2 lemongrass stalks

  • ½ pound medium shrimp - peeled, deveined and shells reserved

  • 4 cups water

  • 4 makrut lime leaves

  • 4 slices galangal

  • 4 chile padi (bird's eye chiles)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce

  • 1 ½ limes, juiced

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon hot chile paste

  • 1 tablespoon tom yum soup paste (Optional)

  • 12 fresh button mushrooms, halved

  • 1 (6 ounce) can whole straw mushrooms, drained

Directions

  1. Trim lemongrass and cut into matchstick-sized pieces.

  2. To make stock: Add reserved shrimp heads and shells to 4 cups water in a pot over medium-low heat; simmer for about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stock sit for another 20 minutes before discarding shells.

  3. Add stock, lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal, chile padi, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chile paste, and tom yum soup paste to a large soup pot; bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. Lower the heat to medium, then add shrimp, button mushrooms, and straw mushrooms. Simmer until the outsides of shrimp are pink and the centers are opaque, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note

Many ingredients can be found in your local Thai, Asian, or specialty shop. Chile paste with soybean oil comes in small jars and can be found in most Asian markets. Galangal, a member of the ginger family, is a knobby root that tastes like a cross between ginger and pepper. Makrut lime leaves have an aromatic citrus-like smell and flavor.
