the easiest is to bring a pot of water to a boil. Add sliced onions and garlic. Dissolve some tum yum paste into the water. You may use some herbs such as ginger, galanga root, lemon grass for extra flavour. Pour in a can of coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Add chicken dices or shrimps. Cook for 3 min then add slices of bamboo shots, carrots and mushrooms. Cook for another 2 min and serve. You can also cook it froms scratch but that will take a lot longer to explain.

I do it the same way as ';mrsyuh'; only I start with chicken broth and a small can or a couple Tablespoons of Thai green chili paste. I recently tried the yellow chili paste and it seemed about the same...but I didn't have them both there to compare. If you have straw mushrooms available and cilantro to add they are quite traditional...
Instead of soup make Raw Fish





Dice white fish fillets


1 can coconut cream


chopped onions


chopped garlic


Lemon juice


Salt and black pepper


Mix and chill.
