Tom Yum Soup Recipe
I have been skipping my lunch and having soups for lunch. This is one soup which i made today and enjoyed it to the core. I will soon share the cabbage soup, broccoli soup which i made. This is the first time i made this soup and loved it so much. Tom yum is nothing but an authentic Thai spicy and sour soup. There are so many variations of this soup all over the internet, this is my version and it is a veg recipe. Will soon share a non veg version of it..
