Quoc Viet FoodsThai Tom Yum Flavored Soup Base 10oz Cot Lau Thai Lan Brand

I love Tom Yum soup but it is not se easy to get. I found this base and now can make it myself quite easily. The best part is I can add extra ingredients and make my own version of it. Usually it only has a few slices of mushrooms for vegetables, which I do not like. When I make it I use up what ever vegetables I have in the fridge and add my favorite vegetable, corn. It is more hearty and filling but still has that great Tom Yum sweet / spicy / sour taste. I will also use up whatever protein we have left over versus just sticking to chicken. Many times it is chicken we have left over from a rotisserie chicken. Other times I use left over ribs. I even add left over rice from a Chinese take-out order or noodles. I then add some coconut milk and maybe some other seasonings and butter, let it simmer and it is done. Point is, I use up my left overs and put my own hearty twist on it. It is then quite practical and inexpensive but so good. I also make a big pot and freeze some for a quick treat in the future. My husband just loves it and raves to all about this soup. I would highly recommend this soup base. You and your loved ones will love it and they will love you for making it!

Pretty sure I've already reviewed but just in case: we use this to make vegetarian (not vegan AFAIK) soup that is sort of a cross between hot and sour and tom yum. This product makes it easy to get a really good head start on a big batch of delicious "multi-day" soup. Add your own tofu and etc or whatever and season/spice your own way and you are good to go!Also great: stores dry. Save space in your fridge!

I did a lot of shopping to find the best one for the reviews. This one looked like it was worth a try. I tried the broth in a 8 oz coffee mug of hot water. Followed the direction on the package, and it was very close to the taste of the soup in my fav. Thai restaurant. By the smell I could tell it had a lot of lime flavor, I added a few drops of fish sauce and soy to balance the taste of the lime. This has a good amount of heat in it, so buyer be advised. With a bit of tweeking to taste, I would have to say this is the closest I have gotten to Tom Yum Soup! I am very impressed! This fills my craving for sure! Now to add the veggies and tofu and I will be a happy camper!! I will buy this again for sure!

Tastes really good and just like the Vietnamese restaurant I used to live next to. Super convenient for making a small amount too. Not overly spicy

I recently had Tom Yum broth at a Local hot pot hotspot near my house! I instantly fell in love with the flavor of the broth and couldn’t wait to have more. This soup mix tastes just like the restaurant. I simply made it as the package directions suggested, and then added some mini wonton at the end to cook, and it was an amazing soup combination! This will become a staple at my house

With the current stay-at-home order in NYC, I’ve been craving Thai food constantly. Specifically, I REALLY wanted a nice, hot bowl of Tom Kha Gai, with chicken. There isn’t a decent Thai restaurant nearby that’s currently operating, so I decided to try to make it at home. While researching different recipes, I came across a recommendation for a specific brand of coconut milk, & for this soup mix. That led me here, & after reading reviews, I felt confident that it was a good buy. The flavor is exactly what I wanted, & you can actually bypass most of the “traditional” ingredients such as lemongrass, Thai basil, & galangal, as long as you use an appropriate amount of this soup base. As long as you use quality coconut milk, it’s hard to mess this up. I made mine with chicken, onions, garlic, & carrots. Since I didn’t have mushrooms on hand, I used a black truffle dust for umami effect, then added jalapeños, lime juice, cilantro, & chili oil at the end. I just inhaled two bowls full myself, & I’m already looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow...

The media could not be loaded. I was buying Tom yum soup so much that I decided to find a way to make it myself. A lot of the ingredients are not locally available. So this helped me give it what I needed to make it at home. I paired it with the tomyum paste also sold on Amazon to give it the final touch. Absolutely delicious! Tossed in fresh ginger, evaporated milk, and veggies, it was amazing! Highly recommend.
