Tom yam soup with chicken and shrimp

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   First prepare a piece of meat that will go to the broth.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put water in a saucepan and boil the breast in this case. In the meantime, let's cook the shrimp. To do this, we will defrost them, if they are frozen, we will clean them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the mushrooms. We will divide the medium ones into quarters, the small ones into halves, and the very large ones into 6-8 parts.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the seasoning. First, rub the chili and garlic in a convenient way.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then we will send it all to a saucepan with butter and fry, stirring, and after 5 minutes we will add finely chopped lemongrass here. Fry for another 5 minutes (always stirring!).

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour the ready-made broth here. As soon as it boils, we will send the peeled shrimp and mushrooms into a saucepan, and then after 5 minutes, without slicing, we will put cherry tomatoes. Cook on medium heat for another 5-10 minutes (depends on the size of the cherry).

8. Step 7:

   

   At the end, dilute 0.5 tsp of tamarind paste in the broth and pour it with lemon juice into a saucepan. The soup can be turned off as soon as it boils. If you want a richer taste and a pleasant texture, pour in a couple of tablespoons of cream at the end of cooking and boil for a minute.
