Recipe: Augmented Tom Yum Soup

I just tested positive for COVID for the first time ever (along with my lovely life partner) but am feeling okay.

Fond memories of going to Siam on Broadway in Seattle and ordering tom yum soup whenever I was sick.

I make no medical claims here but if you are feeling unwell this soup can do no harm:

Nirvana Wok Augmented* Tom Yum Soup

One can of Aroy-D tom yum soup
Two teaspoons Aroy-D tom yum paste
Four cans chicken stock

Bring to a boil and add cilantro, coconut milk, enoki mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, lime juice, sugar, red bell pepper and chicken or shrimp.

*If you’re gonna buy store-bought processed food like canned soup add stuff to it to make it better.
