Thai Soup Recipe (with Chicken, Prawns, and Mushrooms)

This Thai Soup Recipe is easy to make and delicious. Too much tasty with the combination of Chicken, Prawns, and Mushrooms.

Raining outside, a cold rainy day in the Monsoon! Nothing can be better than a bowl of warm soup to make you warm from within. Right?

I usually make different kinds of soup, but my ultimate favorite one is this Thai soup recipe, where I often use chicken, prawns, and mushrooms to give a rich touch to it. Besides adding some sort of Protein makes the soup a wholesome meal too.

To be honest, this soup recipe is neither any 100% authentic Thai soup recipe, nor Thai Tom yum soup. Actually, the recipe is a little infused with my Bengali cuisine flavors. You can also call it, Bengali style Thai soup. But I can ensure that you will absolutely love this soup, once you taste it.

Mix all of the ingredients in a soup pot, add water, mix, and slow cook for 5-7 minutes. Wa-Lah! delicious and easy soup is ready to enjoy.

How the soup taste like?

The flavor profile of this soup is very rich with all those Proteins (chicken, prawns, and mushrooms) and other amazing ingredients.

Little sweet and tangy taste, besides hints of Thai flavor because of Thai leaves/Lemongrass and ginger. This is how I like to describe my soup in simple words.

Is it a Starter or a Main course dish?

Well, you can take it as a starter or as a main course as well. Add fewer variations of protein and in small quantities, keep the consistency a little thin to take it as a starter.

To consider it as the main course do vice versa. Keep its consistency thicker and add a good quantity of protein. Add corn flour-water mixture to thicken the soup.

How can you serve the soup?

Soups have been made and served for ages. No doubt, it is comfort food to millions of people out there.

Also because you have the freedom to choose, whether you want to have cold served soups or warm served ones; of course based on the weather and your preference.

In the case of this soup, you should always serve it warm and only then you will be able to taste the real taste. You are removing the lid of your soup bowl and warm flavorsome fume is hitting your face, just imagine!

What can be served along with the soup?

You can serve crispy fried wontons. Soup with fried wonton is like a combination made in heaven.

Also, fried chicken or fried prawns and fish fingers can be served.

Actually, you can serve this dish as a main course dish, along with these side dishes.

Trust me! this dish will fill your tammy and will make your family really happy.

How to cook this Thai Soup recipe

First, I like to begin by preparing and collecting all the ingredients in one place. So I de-vein Prawns.

Usually, I don’t cut my prawns, but you can cut your prawns into small pieces as well.

I prefer to cut chicken and mushrooms into thin slices green chilies and ginger into thick slices.

Then I smash the stem of lemongrass and cut the leaf into medium size pieces.

After that, I separate 3 egg yolks from the white part.

I mix 2 tbsp Corn starch with 2 tbsp water and keep it aside for later use.

I usually take a big size pot (suitable for making soup and curry) and Put all the ingredients one by one into that pot except the food color, water, and Corn starch mixture.

Now it’s time to give those ingredients a good mix.

Then I add 3 cups of water/chicken stock and also the corn starch mixture into the pot.

I mix everything together once again.

Then I turn on the flame of the stove. Also, I try to keep the flame medium and cook to simmer.

Now it’s time to add food coloring. Adding color is completely optional, though I prefer to add a little bit of color to bring that orange shade to my soup.

Finally, I cover my soup and cook for another good 5/6 minutes until the protein is completely cooked and I get a thick consistency of the soup.

I serve my soup warm, along with some crispy wonton and freshly baked bread buns.

Note:

• Try to use fresh protein, I have used canned mushrooms in my soup but you can use fresh button mushrooms as well.
• Do not skip Lemongrass or ginger. Because those ingredients add the authentic Thai flavor to this soup.
• Don’t overcook your soup, otherwise, the chicken will become dry, and hard and the prawn will be rubbery in texture.
