Use vegetable broth and replace the shrimp with firm tofu and a variety of mushrooms like shiitake and oyster. Substitute fish sauce with soy sauce or a vegetarian fish sauce alternative.
Follow the recipe and add 3 tbsp of evaporated milk or 1/4 cup of full-fat coconut milk at the end for a richer, creamier soup.
Key ingredients like galangal and lemongrass contain compounds such as galangin and citral, which have been studied for their potent anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce inflammation in the body.
The soup is rich in vitamins and minerals from its herbal ingredients. The heat from the chilies can also help clear sinuses, making it a great choice when you're feeling under the weather.
Lemongrass and galangal have traditionally been used to aid digestion, relieve bloating, and soothe stomach discomfort. The warm broth can be very comforting for the digestive system.

A 1.5-cup serving of this Tom Yum Soup contains approximately 150-180 calories, depending on the exact ingredients used. Adding coconut milk for a creamy version will increase the calorie count.
Absolutely. The heat comes from the Tom Yum paste and the fresh chilies. To reduce the spice level, use less Tom Yum paste (start with 1 tablespoon) and omit the fresh bird's eye chilies entirely.
While they look similar, galangal and ginger have distinct flavors. Galangal has a sharp, citrusy, and almost pine-like flavor, whereas ginger is pungent, spicy, and slightly sweet. For an authentic Tom Yum, galangal is essential and should not be substituted with ginger.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat until just warmed through. Avoid boiling, as it can overcook the shrimp and diminish the fresh lime flavor.
