Thai Tom Yum Soup (VEG)

One of my favorite soups is Tom Yum Soup. Being a vegetarian I will be sharing my recipe for veg tom yum Soup. Lemongrass, kaffir leaves ( used to get it in US haven't seen in India), and galangal  ( u can use ginger) are available at any supermarket. If you are unable to find the lime leaves, you can add some extra lime juice as per taste. But it's always better to have all ingredients in place to make a perfect dish.

Ingredients

2 Cups Vegetable Stock ( Boil Mushroom, carrots in water, strain the water and use)

2 Thin Slices of Galangal or Ginger
