ABOUT Lemon Grass Broth Soup (Tom Yum) RECIPE

An excellent soup for the Winters with the goodness of vegetables and herbs.

Ingredients Serving: 5

Lemon grass 2 stalks
Cilantro 1/2 bunch
Basil leaves 4-5
Cloves 2
Peppercorns 5
2 cups vegetables (mushrooms, bean sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, baby corns)
Tofu/ Cottage cheese 200 gms
Lemon juice 2 tsp
Ginger 1 inch
Garlic 2 cloves
Oil 2 tsp
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Put 5-6 cups of water in a pan and boil it. Add in the roughly chopped lemon grass, cilantro and basil to it. Also add in the cloves and peppercorns.
Simmer the gas and let it cook for 15-18 mins. This will bring out all the nutrients and taste to the broth. Then sieve the broth.
In a pan, heat oil and add in the finely chopped ginger and garlic to it. Saute them till the raw smell disappears.
Now add in all the vegetables that have been chopped in thin slices. Saute them for 2-3 minutes. (I like the crunchiness of vegetables so I did not cook it for too long.)
Now pour the broth into the vegetables. Bring it to boil and add in the tofu/ cottage cheese.
Mix it well, then add in the salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Turn off the gas and serve it hot.
