I would like an easy and tasty recipe. Can it be done in a crock pot? FYI I am a single bachelor and would probably take a week to eat it all...A recipe for Thai hot and sour soup?
The hardest part of making this soup is getting the ingredients. It's not a soup that requires long cooking times, so I wouldn't cook it in a crock pot. This makes 4 servings, so you'll only be eating it for half the week.
Hot and Sour Thai Soup: Tom Yum Goong
Yield - 4 servings
Prep - 20 min Inactive Prep-- Cook30 min Total:50 min
Ingredients
2 quarts chicken broth
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, sliced on a bias in 2-inch pieces
4 kaffir lime leaves
1-inch piece fresh galangal or ginger, sliced
2 red chiles, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce, such as nam pla
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, rinsed and halved
1 pound large shrimp, peeled with tails on
2 limes, juiced
2 green onions, sliced
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Bring the stock to the boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and chiles. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth.
Uncover and add the fish sauce, sugar, and mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and cook for about 8 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, green onions, and cilantro. Taste for salt and spices; you should have an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour. The lemongrass and lime leaves are for flavor only and should be avoided when eating the soup.
