Quoc Viet Foods Thai Tom Yum Flavored Soup Base 10oz Cot Lau Thai Lan Brand

It was super easy to use and has great flavor. The lemon grass really stood out. I used 2 teaspoon and made it with 1.5 cups of bone broth, chicken, fresh mushrooms, dinner onion, those little tomatoes cut in half and cilantro. It has a little spice and was delicious. The second time I switched the chicken for shrimp and added red/yellow/orange diced bell peppers and some crinkle cut carrots. Excellent!! Will definitely buy it again.

I love Tom Yum soup but it is not se easy to get. I found this base and now can make it myself quite easily. The best part is I can add extra ingredients and make my own version of it. Usually it only has a few slices of mushrooms for vegetables, which I do not like. When I make it I use up what ever vegetables I have in the fridge and add my favorite vegetable, corn. It is more hearty and filling but still has that great Tom Yum sweet / spicy / sour taste. I will also use up whatever protein we have left over versus just sticking to chicken. Many times it is chicken we have left over from a rotisserie chicken. Other times I use left over ribs. I even add left over rice from a Chinese take-out order or noodles. I then add some coconut milk and maybe some other seasonings and butter, let it simmer and it is done. Point is, I use up my left overs and put my own hearty twist on it. It is then quite practical and inexpensive but so good. I also make a big pot and freeze some for a quick treat in the future. My husband just loves it and raves to all about this soup. I would highly recommend this soup base. You and your loved ones will love it and they will love you for making it!

Probably the best tasting Tom Yum I've had from the many I tried but it's just too darn Spicy Hot!

Its called Tom Yum for a reason 😋 I will always have this in my cupboard, the quality is great. I don't find it spicy, but you can adjust how strong it is to your taste preference.

Very tasty, full flavor, good lemongrass taste balanced w other spices.. Better than I expected from a mix. Not very hot though. Ad some hot peppers and it's excellent.

i really wasnt expecting much from this but I live in the middle of nowhere now and have no access to thai food anymore. it is actually delicious! make as directed, add some coconut milk and some shrimp\chicken and some fresh veg... heaven. now I just need to find a pho version.

Pretty sure I've already reviewed but just in case: we use this to make vegetarian (not vegan AFAIK) soup that is sort of a cross between hot and sour and tom yum. This product makes it easy to get a really good head start on a big batch of delicious "multi-day" soup. Add your own tofu and etc or whatever and season/spice your own way and you are good to go! Also great: stores dry. Save space in your fridge!

With the current stay-at-home order in NYC, I’ve been craving Thai food constantly. Specifically, I REALLY wanted a nice, hot bowl of Tom Kha Gai, with chicken. There isn’t a decent Thai restaurant nearby that’s currently operating, so I decided to try to make it at home. While researching different recipes, I came across a recommendation for a specific brand of coconut milk, & for this soup mix. That led me here, & after reading reviews, I felt confident that it was a good buy. The flavor is exactly what I wanted, & you can actually bypass most of the “traditional” ingredients such as lemongrass, Thai basil, & galangal, as long as you use an appropriate amount of this soup base. As long as you use quality coconut milk, it’s hard to mess this up. I made mine with chicken, onions, garlic, & carrots. Since I didn’t have mushrooms on hand, I used a black truffle dust for umami effect, then added jalapeños, lime juice, cilantro, & chili oil at the end. I just inhaled two bowls full myself, & I’m already looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow...
