Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 6 cups Low sodium chicken stock
- 2 Lemongrass stalks
- 4 Kaffir lime leaves
- 3 slices Galangal (sliced)
- 3 Fresh Thai chilies
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 150 grams Mushrooms (white button or straw mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce (low sodium)
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 Scallions (sliced)

Instructions
Prepare the fresh ingredients by thinly slicing the chicken breast, bruising the lemongrass stalks (lightly smashing them to release flavor), and slicing the galangal.
Bring the low sodium chicken stock to a boil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and Thai chilies to the boiling stock. Lower to a simmer and let the flavors infuse for 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Slice the mushrooms and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the soup and simmer for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
Season the soup with fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the pot from heat and discard the lemongrass and lime leaves (optional).
Garnish the soup with freshly chopped cilantro and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot in bowls and enjoy your flavorful, low-fat Tom Yum Soup with Chicken!
