The Last of the Garden Tomatoes — Weekend Meditation

Low-Fat Recipes: Vegetable Tom Yum Soup

Vegetable Tom Yum Soup

4.5 / 5 Stars | 13 Reviews

If you can’t find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!”
