Composition.

Well, let's move on to making soup. The process consists of four stages. 1 Manufacture of chicken broth. 2 Prepare the broth for the soup Assembly. 3 Well, actually assembling the soup. 4 the Final refinement to the sharpness, sourness, saltiness, sweetness. So, let's proceed to the first stage.... Put the chicken parts in a pot, fill with water and boil the chicken broth, the details are omitted, for CEE Mego accordion.

Here's the food we need for the soup.

Spices.

Here is a closeup of "Exotica".

While cooking the broth will begin cutting only for the second phase, namely coarsely cut: 1 Onion 2 green Onions 3 Ginger 4 Garlic 5 lime 6 medium-sized cups Prepared bunch fresh cilantro, bind with a thread firmly, so then it is easy to get. 7 Fresh hot pepper, I have ran fresh, I used dry. 8 Pepper.

Well, the broth is ready, parts of chicken out of it uninstalled, according to this, proceed to the second stage, namely the preparation of the broth for the soup Assembly. Put a bunch of cilantro.

On green onions.

Then ginger, lime and garlic.

Onion.

Pepper.

And the pod of the pepper has a sharp, fresh, I only had dry...

It turns out that's the beauty of it. Leave it stewing for 15-20 minutes over low heat.

While languishing prepare the grated zest of lime, we need it. Grate on a small grater.

Well, the second stage comes to an end, to complete take out the "testing" of pan.

Strain the broth into another saucepan.

And in the end, we get such fragrant beauty, this the second phase is finished.

Proceed to the third stage, namely the Assembly of the soup. We will need 1 Tom yum Paste. 2 Diced tomatoes and tomato paste. 3 Mushrooms. 4 lemon Peel. 5 Not a lot of chopped cilantro. 6 Sugar 3 tbsp Fish sauce 7 tbsp 4 8 Shrimp. 9 the coconut Milk half a liter. 10 Coriander dry. 11 lime Juice, fresh squeezed.

Well, started the Assembly of the soup. In the prepared broth, put the pasta Tom Yam, at the rate of 50 grams per half liter, I usually add more, but for the first time put in the instructions. Then if you need to add.

Then two sliced tomatoes.

A saucer of finely chopped cilantro.

Grated zest of two small limes.

A couple of jars of tomato paste, well, I love that the cotton and the tomatoes and the pasta was.

Granulated sugar 3 tablespoons.

Fish sauce 4 tbsp By the way, the soup is not salt, salt then bring the sauce. The sauces come in different salinity according to this first not a lot of Leyte.

I use here this sauce.

Next, start the mushrooms, if bought frozen direct frozen and run, don't defrost! A classic recipe using shiitake or button mushrooms. But since they are in the soup is almost tasteless I have long passed or on white or forest, much tastier leaves. The more they buy no more difficult than mushrooms.

Well, the build is almost finished.

According to this, cover with a lid and leave boil until cooked mushrooms for about 15-20 minutes...

Cook until mushrooms get the last components you need.

Well, the mushrooms are ready.

Run shrimp shelled.

After 5 minutes pour in half a liter of coconut milk, and again 5 minutes waiting.

Add the coriander dry.

Squeezing small limes and about 5 minutes waiting. All the third stage is completed.

And proceed to the last, fourth, final stage is very important. Final align the soup for salt, spiciness, acidity, sweetness. The taste is all different according to this write about your proportions, be sure to continually check in process. For example, I squeeze one lime, add 100 grams of fish sauce, a few teaspoons of hot sauce of Tabasco and a bit of sugar... once again, I stress that all this individually, not in a hurry. The soup should be sour-spicy-sweet, well you know...
