Noodle soup

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Do not prepare "Tom Yum" soup in advance. Thai soups are made fresh, as they are not suitable for reheating. This soup can be made with any noodles. If you have ramen, place the noodles into the boiling soup, cover the pot with a lid, and turn off the heat. After 5 minutes, the noodles will be ready, and the soup can be served. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

Instructions

    Step 1

    To prepare the soup, gather the ingredients. You can cook the soup in water or use previously prepared chicken or vegetable broth. For the protein component, use your favorite seafood—fresh, canned, or frozen. If you don't have the individual ingredients typical for Thai soup, use ready-made "Tom Yum" paste.
