Thai tom yum goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is one of the most widely available and loved dishes in Thailand. Check out my full Thai tom yum soup recipe here: wp.me/p4a4F7-2uc
At nearly every Thai restaurant you go to, both in Thailand and outside of Thailand, there will be some form of tom yum on the menu. Tom yum is really like a mix of different ingredients, all boiled together into a soup, and flavored with a trio of Thai herbs: lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. Without this trio of herbs, tom yum (ต้มยำ) would not have that earthy undertone of herb flavor to it. Sure the other ingredients, like chilies, shrimp, onions, garlic, fish sauce, and lime juice are also essential in this recipe, but without the trio of herbs, you wouldn't have an authentic version of this soup.
So anyway, it’s actually quite easy to make this Thai tom yum soup recipe as long as you have all the ingredients available. I was in the United States a few months ago, and I was able to find all the ingredients at the local Asian supermarkets - so hopefully you should have any trouble finding them either.
If you’ve eaten Thai tom yum soup before, you might already know that there are two different versions of the dish - there’s a creamy version, which in Thai is known as tom yum goong nam khon (ต้มยำกุ้งน้ำข้น) and there a clear version which is known as Tom yum goong nam sai (ต้มยำกุ้งน้ำใส). Both types of soup are equally common in Thailand, and they are both loved throughout the country. The creamy version of the soup, doesn’t use coconut milk to make it creamy, but rather evaporated milk is what gives it that creaminess. You can try both versions of this recipe to see which one you prefer. Overall, I personally prefer the clear version, partly because it’s less rich, and I also like that the sourness and spiciness of the clear soup is usually stronger. Milk tends to mellow out the flavors and calm them down. However, I like both versions of tom yum, and you should try them both. I’m using shrimp in this recipe, making tom yum goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง), but you can substitute shrimp for something else, like chicken or fish. I also really love tom yum made with fish as it gives the soup a beautiful oily fish flavor to it.
One of the things I love about making Thai tom yum soup is that it doesn’t take very long to prepare. If you have all your ingredients available, all you have to do is slice everything up, put on your pot of boiling water, let the ingredients cook, and once your shrimp and other ingredients are done, the soup is done.
Probably the most important time I can give you for this Thai tom yum soup recipe is to turn off the heat of the soup before you add your lime juice. Lime juice gets bitter and loses its sourness on too high of a heat, so you have to turn off your heat and then add your lime juice for your final step.
Ingredients used in this recipe:
2 liters of water
4 stalks of lemongrass
1 inch chunk of galangal
10 kaffir lime leaves
10 Thai chilies
5 cloves of garlic
½ kilo shrimp
300 grams of oyster mushrooms
2 roma tomatoes
2 white onions (medium sized)
2 teaspoons of sugar
8 - 12 tablespoons of fish sauce (depending on your taste)
8 - 12 tablespoons of lime juice (10 - 15 limes)
Handful of cilantro
Creamy tom yum version
3 tablespoons canned Thai roasted chili sauce (nam prik pao น้ำพริกเผา)
10 tablespoons evaporated milk
Taste test, you may need to add more lime juice or fish sauce as the milk and roasted chili sauce throws off the sourness and saltiness.

You are very good foreigner cooker.(Transformer to Thai) I have some advice for you to cook a great tom yum. Just some tactics to make its more recipe - At first, you have to add just some water, maybe 2 cups, DO NOT add water too much like you did because it made the soup not intense. - When you add tom yum herbs in boiled water you have to wait till the herbs are soft, like shallot, garlic, chilies tomatoes, tamarind paste, etc. These herbs can make your soup is sweet, sour and unique. - You should add shrimps at the last, texture of shrimps still fresh, firm and sweets. Love your spicy eating :)
Thumbs UP if you agree with Mark Wiens that Tom Yum is one of the best soups in the entire world! Love this video Mark-those prawns look epic!

This was fantastic! I had to substitute large regular shrimp for the freshwater prawns, because freshwater anything is hard to find in NY, but it seems to work. I've been looking for an authentic recipe for this dish for years, and this was definitely the one.
Hi Mark, I have been trying to find authentic Tom Yum Soup in restaurants in India but was unable to do so.I know the real taste because I have spent 8 years in Thailand. Yesterday I came across your recipe online and rushed to the supermarket to get the ingredients.The soup tasted perfect.Thanks a ton.Keep up the good work.God Bless.
Have you ever tried coconut milk instead of the carnation milk? Tom Yum is the best soup I have ever had. each time I have it it just gets better. Tomorrow I;m going to visit my favorite Thai place, maybe I'll marry the chef, she's spicy

Yummy making This. Thank you
OMG Mark, made this soup this evening and it was sooooo good, my husband thought I should sell it! Hope I didn't bartardize it too much by having the prawns, chicken and baby bok choi; I followed the coconut milk recipe you posted but used the evaporated milk flow. We will be having that again and I'll be sharing. Thanks for sharing this, it is the best I've had.
Love these old videos
Both version looks delicious. I've never tried the creamy version before so I'm going to try that recipe. Thanks!

Mark Wiens love the cooking videos. Quick question. What does a traditional or typical Thai kitchen look like? I notice you use those open ring stove and where you cook seems to be a sort of outdoor area. Are the kitchens more or less an indoor/outdoor space? I know is some cultures the kitchen tends to be a separate building from the main living (house) area.

Typically the kitchen is an addition to the house that is built AFTER the house is built, the kitchen is usually built on the side of house or at the back.

from my experience (I'm half thai, my mum is from a rural area) the kitchen is somewhat separated from the house. our kitchen was "half" outdoors, meaning that the kitchen was part of the house but only had three walls, a door to it and a roof. my sister owns several big houses in a big city and she has a separate kitchen house. but I think that's only the case for richer people.
Looks so nice!! *-*
It looks really good.. And its easy recipe for sure! I think if you open a restaurant its will success
Wow that look yummy!
Ohhhh ....its looking so so delicious.....I'll give it a try soon....i love prawns so much!
