Asian Home GourmetThai Tom Yum Soup Mix (Hot), 1.75-Ounce Pouch (Pack of 12)

We have used this product for over four years and love it. We make a big pot of soup using recipe below. The amount of added ingredients depends on what we have on hand. If we have lots of veggies that might not be so fresh, we chop them all up and toss in the pot. We use a large cooking pot because we are five people and like enough for left overs.Start off by thinly slicing an onion and cooking it over medium heat in olive oil for a few minutes. Add chopped chicken (one can use other or no meat/fish) and cook for a few minutes. Add chicken stock for the desired amount of liquid (usually a liter box or a can or two of chicken/veggie stock (depends on what we have around). We have also used low/no sodium and no MSG cubes. Turn up the burner heat so the liquid comes to a boil. Add water/stock to desired volume. Add veggies of choice. I use a veggie peeler to peel thin strips of carrot. Thinly slice Chinese cabbage and toss in, we also add some other dark leafy greens. Add one or two packets of soup mix (this is fairly spicy). Bring it all to a boil, cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 30-40 minutes. Just before serving, beat together several eggs (we use one per person) and drizzle s-l-o-w-l-y into the soup mix. Make sure the heat's off when you do this and drizzle slowly while stirring. We serve this over rice. Yum!

Any “hydrolyzed protein” is MSG.

I have been ordering the Tom Yum soup mix for about a year now. I make a Tom Kah Gai soup with it by adding the water as well as coconut milk. To make an INCREDIBLE Tom Kah Gai, follow package on soup mix with water. Add thinly sliced chicken breast. Allow the chicken to cook through. Then add some sliced mushroom, 1 stalk lemon-grass sliced, baby corn and 1-2 cans coconut milk. As soon as mushrooms start to soften, serve in bowls and garnish with cilantro, fresh lime wedges and bean sprouts.My 7 year old daughter LOVES this soup. This will serve about 6 people. As for the first review, the soup paste has 1194mg sodium. Divide this by 6 people and you have about 195mg per serving. Add a can of cocount milk (15mg or 2.5mg per serving) and you have 197.5mg This is less than 1/2 a can of Amy's Organic lentil Vegetable soup which contains 240mg per serving. Plus, you get the added benefits of fresh, vegetables and chicken.

Great flavor and right amount of heat. Lemongrass aroma is the key ingredient.We used "better than bullion" lobster stock to make our Tom Yum broth for our Hot Pot dinner.Will buy it again.

Buyer beware! This product contains 4800 mg of sodium per package. It is WAY too salty. Unnecessarily so. It would have a decent flavor otherwise but the sodium level makes it taste like battery acid.

This is a very good version of my favorite Thai soup. The flavor of tom yum soup served in Thai restaurants varies wildly from watery to that perfect combination of hot, sour and pungent goodness. This doesn't compare to the very best of the restaurant-made tom yum soups, but it's better than what many Thai restaurants offer. If this soup were served to me in a restaurant I would definitely order it again. The Asian Home soup mix is also superior to the tom yum pastes I purchased in the grocery store.

I use seafood broth and shrimp with fresh chopped green onions sooo very good or chicken broth & grilled sliced chicken with the chopped green onions.

These are SO DAMN GOOD!! I always add some ground ginger, chicken bouillon, and lemon, as well as mushrooms, cilantro, and shrimp, and it’s so delicious
