Ah, TN, I do have a healthy respect (and appetite) for rice, honest :) And you’ve reminded me (oops) that I still owe you a proper rice post. While I am off scratching my head and thinking about that, I hope you’ll accept my soup offering – it’s something that was just made to be eaten with rice…

The lunch launch for Happy Heart Eat Out campaign looks like it was delicious. But hey, go easy on rice – those little grains have a hard time standing up to burly potatoes! 8-D

Though we don’t eat out as often as we used to (which is why this soup recipe is greatly appreciated b/c we love Thai food), I wouldn’t mind if restaurants cut portion sizes – w/corollary price cuts, of course – to keep us all from having to loosen our belts!

Ah no, not weird at all Jenn! Hope you are managing to settle back into the swing of things since your trip.

Is it weird to crave hot and sour soup on slightly hot day? hehehe… Since coming back from my trip to the Philippines, I’ve got to rededication myself to some healthy food again.

Hi Michele, it was lovely to meet you yesterday too and so glad you stopped by. As for the soup, you’re absolutely right – Tom Yam Goong is love that is well worth spreading!

Hi Aoife,

First of all, it was good to meet you at the FBC yesterday. I was intrigued by your site, so visited it promptly this morning and saw one of my all time favourites, Tom Yam Goong. Many years ago I spent 6 weeks in Thailand and think I had this soup every single day. Thanks for spreading the love that is Tom Yam Goong!

Sophie: Good for you! Go ahead, adapt away and enjoy the soup :)

Lori: the motives for the initiative are certainly well intentioned, I hope it has some positive outcomes

Chef E: I’m with you on the love for that soup and the love for straw mushrooms, bring ‘em to me now :)

Oh, this soup sounds great. I’ve never had such fresh, tasty food with so much produce as we did in Thailand, Chiang Mai included.

Really enjoy hearing about these types of campaigns. My work in the past connected me with these kinds of things in the US so when I hear about them in other countries they immediately spark my interest. Sounds like a great initiative!

I went with my husband on a biking holiday 10 days ago, I am also on a gluten free diet, I lost 6 kg & I have tons more energy, I feel a lot better & maybe I can savour this soup!! The soup looks so tasty! I might have to adept a few things!

thanks for sharing!
