Those of you who visit regularly know how much my family and I enjoy noodles. Since this is my first ever cooking video, I chose to cook this quick and easy Tom Yum Noodle Soup. It is big on taste and the script was a little easier to compose. Even so, there were many “bloopers”! Perhaps I will share them with you a little further down the road. For now, we will keep to the script. 😉

This delicious Tom Yum Noodle Soup takes less than 20 minutes to prepare using ready-made tom yum paste in a jar and pancit canton, a type of pre-fried wheat noodles made in the Philippines and easily available here at the Asian markets. These noodles have appeared in my Cantonese Style Fried Noodles, Clay Pot Noodles, and Pancit Canton recipes on this blog. Do check them out.

Ramona says
I love hearty and spicy soups like this. If I was your neighbor, I would come over with a big bowl and asked to borrow some soup. 🙂
Scott says
I made this last night with spaghetti and it was delicious! I doubled-up on the tom yum paste and added the two chilis to the soup as it was coming back to a boil and it gave everything just the right amount of heat for my palate. The lemongrass was a nice touch and was very crunchy. Is it supposed to be that way? Also, I wonder how it would be with ginger instead of the lemongrass?
Linda says
That sounds delicious, Scott. I like it spicy too. 🙂 The lemongrass is used to infused the soup with flavor and scent. Usually it is bruised or smacked with a heavy knife and left whole. I chose to slice it because of the short cooking time. A little ginger may be added but the lemongrass should not be omitted if possible.

Hello Linda, I just came across your recipe and it looks fantastic. I had bought a jar of Tom Yum paste the other day and I wanted to try to make the soup for myself. Are all the ingredients you have listed all of the traditional ingredients in the Thailand tom yum soup? Are mushrooms or bok choy or anything else ever added? I cannot wait to make this tomorrow and eat it all week long.
Linda says
I believe all the ingredients I used in this recipe are used by the Thais. I am not sure about the mushrooms and bok choy but if you like to add them, I don’t see why not. I think they will work.
Ryan Durning says
Thank you so very much for this recipe Linda, I decided to put a little mushroom and bok choy in there. It was so delicious… and so easy to make. I also added baby scallops along with the shrimp and chicken. I’m so happy I made enough for tomorrow night as well. I will totally make that again.
