Quick Tom Yum Soup with Poached Egg

Tom Yum Soup with Poached Egg in a bowl.

I had been meaning to post my Quick Tom Yum Soup with Poached Egg recipe for a long time.

I used to make it all the time and then just fell out of the habit. Today I noticed a lonely jar of Tom Yum Soup Paste at the back of the cupboard and remembered I had a few mushrooms that needed using up so knew exactly what to do.

It was lunch time but none of us had had breakfast so I was going to do poached eggs on toast for my daughter. Then decided that I would  add a poached egg to the soup as it’s not a million miles away from what the Chinese do with their omelette on dishes!

Not only is this soup really tasty and spicy but it’s probably the quickest soup in the west and the east!

Just add a garnish of chopped coriander and enjoy!

  • Skinny Thai Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Simple Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Doenjang Chigae aka Korean Bean Paste Soup
  • Simple Laksa Noodle Soup with Tofu, Red Peppers & Green Cabbage

      We used to have it all the time when I got the paste in M&S and then stopped selling it. But found some in Tesco this week so I’m going to make it again as so quick & easy:-)
