VEGETARIAN TOM YUM SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the stock into a soup pot. Add the prepared lemongrass, plus the lime leaves, chili, garlic, and galangal or ginger. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 5 minutes, or until the broth is very fragrant.
• Add the mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft.
• Add the bok choy and cherry tomatoes. Gently simmer 1 to 2 more minutes (the bok choy should remain on the crisp side).
• Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk (if using), sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add the soft tofu and gently stir. Taste-test and adjust as needed.
• To serve, ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh basil and coriander. Serve and enjoy.

TOM YUM SOUP WITH TOFU AND VERMICELLI

Steps:

• Soak the vermicelli in room temperature water for 10 minutes, until they have softened. (Disregard package instructions.) Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek and garlic. Set aside.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the lemongrass, ginger, makrut lime leaves and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes. Discard the lemongrass stalks. Add the tomatoes and tofu, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tofu is warm and the tomatoes have softened.
• Add the sambal oelek mixture, salt and drained vermicelli to the soup, stirring gently to break the tofu into bite-size pieces. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the noodles are transparent. Turn off the heat, and stir in the evaporated milk, if using.
• Divide the soup into four bowls, top with scallions and cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.
