Thai Chicken Tom Yum

I cook this many times already. It's my favourite when I feel like to eat chicken soup. I usually use fresh ingredients from my garden. This recipe is so healthy that you do not need cooking oil at all. Basically it just about boiling the ingredients and follow the measurements of the ingredients and your soup will turn out perfect.

This meal is a perfect flu shot or consume it if you feel like having a fever. It will make you sweat and feel good as soon as soup enters your chest.
