The taste of this clear soup Thai tomyam is almost the same as the common red coloured one. Red soup tomyam has chilli paste or chilli powder added but for this type of tomyam, only cili padi (bird eye chilli) are used. Somehow, I prefer the clear soup tomyam. It might not look as good as the red soup tomyam but the taste is simply delicious. My eldest son loves tomyam and this Clear Soup Thai Tomyam is his favourite!
I added in super spicy red cili padi (birdeye chilli) to give the soup EXTRA KICK! lol

Can you please stand near me Bananaz give you a kick hahaha. Whoa aTOMic Yam without the redness but the spicy hot. Sure melutup...and smoke coming from the ears and head.
yeah, i actually prefer the clear type than those reddish and milky type of tomyum.. the clear one taste more refreshing and appetising..
I love this soup but never had a chance to make it. Yours look delicious and full of flavor. Have a great week Pete :-)
Yum! Not a fan of tomyam...but this one, I'm sure I like. Something like our Melanau masak sayur rebus here. Drool!!!!
Wow, looks good, at least it looks not so spicy compared to the traditional red tomyam...
sounds quick and delicious to make.
I can feel the spiciness here..... I'm sweating now, while consuming this soup, mentally...
it looks dangerously spicy despite not being red.. hehe
yumm...i like the clear soup tomyam better than those with santan
i have never tried any clear soup tomyam! but this seems tempting! :D
Extra spicy... * sweat!
Frankly speaking, I've never tried cooking tomyam this way. Perhaps it's about time I give it a go. Thank you for sharing.
the best tomyum i've ver tasted so far is also of clear soup type at bukit kayu hitam many years ago!
Hi, that looks nice. I tried a somewhat similar recipe but with something extra inside - galangial (lengkuas).
