Tom Yum Soup

This tom yum soup was super quick to make and seriously delicious…we could have eaten more!

Another recipe taken from Miguel Barclay’s FAST & FRESH One Pound Meals recipe book, which we’ve enjoyed served as part of a tapas selection.   See the tips below for a couple of other recipe suggestions if you fancy having tapas one night…

We couldn’t believe the flavour in such a short space of time and with pretty straightforward ingredients.   If you don’t have hot smoked pimenton, try smoked paprika instead.

Tips

• The ingredients are easy to increase to feed more if you wish.
• Serve as a starter or lunch for one or as part of a tapas selection.
• For a tapas selection, we’d suggest 2 other dishes from the same recipe book:
  
  • Lamb Meatball Tagine
  • Spanish Chorizo Stew

Ingredients

• sesame oil
• 1 spring onion roughly chopped
• 1 tsp hot smoked pimenton
• ½ chicken stock cube or pot
• 300ml milk
• 100g cooked and peeled prawns
• ¼ lemon juice only
• 1 tbsp honey
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Put a saucepan over a medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Then add the chopped spring onion and fry for about 30 seconds, add the paprika, crumble in the stock cube or pot and stir in the milk.
2. Stir to combine everything, then add the prawns.
3. Simmer gently for 3 minutes, then squeeze in the juice from the lemon and stir in the honey.
4. Serve in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil. It’s as easy as that and so good!
