Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that your vegetables are washed and chopped properly.

Dice the medium onion and slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Clean and slice the mushrooms.

Measure out the tom yum paste and set it aside for later use.

Step 2

Cook the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat up a splash of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until it turns translucent.

Next, toss in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they begin to soften, absorbing the flavors of the onion.

Step 3

Build the Soup Base

To the pot, add the tom yum paste, stirring well to combine it with the sautéed ingredients.

Pour in the chicken or fish broth and bring everything to a boil.

Once boiling, add the cherry tomatoes, kaffir lime leaves, and chili pepper.

Step 4

Add Seafood and Finish the Soup

Once the broth is boiling, add the shrimp and salmon to the pot. Allow them to cook until the shrimp are pink and the salmon is cooked through.

Stir in the coconut milk and let the soup simmer for a few more minutes. Adjust seasoning with sugar and salt according to taste.
