Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 3-4 medium size tomatoes – quartered
- 1 tsp Season with Spice's Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder
- 1/2 tsp Season with Spice's Lemongrass Powder
- 1/2 tsp Season with Spice's Galangal Powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2-3 dried red chili peppers
- 6 oz or more of baby button mushrooms you can also use oyster or straw mushrooms, or a mix
- Half a green bell pepper – sliced thinly and halved
- Season with Spice’s Thai Ginger-Lime Sea Salt or 1.5 tbsp fish sauce to taste
- Freshly squeezed lime juice about one lime
- Fresh jalapeño slices optional
- A handful of fresh cilantro to garnish
Optional vegetables:
- Carrots yellow onion, or baby corn
Instructions
- In a soup pot, add in water, and 2/3 of the quartered tomatoes. Bring it to a boil over high heat. You can use the soup ladle to lightly smash the tomatoes.
- While the soup is heating, combine the kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, and galangal powders in a small bowl. Add in about 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 teaspoons of water. Stir to form into a paste.
- Once the tomatoes start to cook down, lower the heat to medium, and then add in the mushrooms.
- Next, stir in the spice paste. Then break the dried red chili peppers in half, and toss into the soup. If you prefer a milder heat, keep the chili peppers whole.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it cook for 5 minutes. Then add in the bell pepper slices, season with salt or fish sauce, and squeeze in lime juice. The tomatoes should be melded into the soup well at this point - which gives the soup a good base flavor and texture.
- Taste and adjust any seasonings (squeeze in more lime juice if needed). Add in the last 1/3 of the tomatoes, and fresh jalapeno slices (if using). Turn heat off.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot, and include a few lime wedges on the side.
