Tom Yum Inspired Soup

was our dinner tonight, all dairy, and milkfree. - I love Tom Yum soup; so when I found Tom Yum paste at the Aslan market I could not pass it up. Found it worth the try to experiment with it on my family tonight and I am happy to report that it was a success. Yay! So quick, and sooo yummy - not authentic but delicious.
