I have a bowl of hot and sour shrimp soup recipe to share. I was thinking to make Thai’s famous Tom Yum Goong, but when I checked the pantry, I did not have certain ingredient, so I came up with this following concoction instead. Thank goodness it turned up super good and I got a very happy husband with his dinner bowl 😀

1 carton of chicken broth
1 carton of pho broth
2 stalk of lemon grass, bruised
1 thumb ginger, skinned, thinly sliced
1 small dried galangal
4 red bird eye chilies, sliced
5 dried kafir lime leaves
1 tbsp Worcester sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 envelope low calorie sweetener (or 2 tsp sugar)
1 package of enoki mushrooms
1 package of ready to use shrimps
3 green onions
2 packages low carb noodle, rinsed
lime juice
Method
- Pour broth into a pot, add in spices, bring to boil

Add in enoki mushroom, simmer covered on medium heat for 8 minutes

Add in shrimps, green onion and noodle, cook for 6 minutes

- Adjust flavor
- Serve soup with extra lime juice if needed
Note
- You should have equal flavor of salt, spicyness and sourness.
- Kafir lime, galangal, ginger, and lemon grass are only for broth, not to be served
