I didn’t really know what to make for dinner and found some Tom Yum paste in my pantry. Since I also had some broccoli, bok choy and some leftover grilled chicken I improvised this soup and it turned out better than expected and super filling for the amount of calories.
Perfect if you want something warm and satisfying without using many ingredients.
