# Five-Minute Food: Spicy Thai tom yam soup

##  This version of the classic Thai broth isn't authentic, but it is sinus
clearingly hot and sour, perfect to shake off a cold or just the winter blues.
It's also delicious cold in the summer, if it ever arrives. If you need some
carbs, then microwave a pouch of ready cooked rice to eat alongside.
