Hot and Sour Soup Recipe

Ideal as a starter in a Thai meal. Not very filling, but a great appetizer. Very quick and easy to prepare. The tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chile and decide if any extra heat is required. Do not attempt if you do not have fresh coriander, as this is vital!

Hot and Sour Soup is usually Chinese, I like the idea of adding fish sauce, tom yum, chile-this is sort of a Tom Yum Gai as I read the list of ingredients.
