Tom Yum Soup
By :Meals in a Jar Cookbook by Pamela Ellgen |

I have to apologize in advance—you’re not going to find many of these ingredients in your local grocery store unless you’re lucky enough to live near an Asian market. But it’s worth the effort to buy them online! Fragrant kaffir lime leaves, spicy galangal, pungent dried shrimp, and savory mushrooms permeate a creamy coconut broth in this traditional Southeast Asian soup.
