- 1 small onion cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons tom yum paste
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tomatoes (cut into quarters)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
- Bring chicken stock to a boil over medium heat. Add lemongrass and galangal and keep cooking until fragrant (about a few minutes). Add mushrooms and onion. Continue cooking until boiling. Add fish sauce, tom yum paste, sugar, chilis (if desired) and stir well to combine. Add prawns. When prawns are fully cooked (only a minute or two), add tomato, kaffir lime leaves, cilantro and green onions.

Notes
- Tom yum paste can be found at asian grocery stores and whole foods. If you cannot find kaffir lime leaves, add more fresh lime juice (according to your desired taste).
