Spicy and Sour Soup

I guess this can be interpreted as a version of the Thai TomYum. Although not cooked with authentic ingredients, it is very satisfying especially during the gloomy autumn / winter days !

Spicy and Sour Soup
recipe from Kata Konyha

Ingredients
2 carrots , slice into half rings
1 - 2 tomatoes , quartered
100gm mushrooms, sliced - I've used champion mushrooms, but mixture of oyster mushroom would be good too
1 small onion , chopped finely
1 pc 4cm ginger , grated
1 tsp Green curry paste
1 tsp dried lemon grass
1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce - I was out of it, so replaced with dash of oyster sauce
600 - 700 ml meat stock - I used 1 fish stock cube
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
salt & ground pepper , to taste
Hungarian chili paste (erős pista)
1 Limejuice - didn't have lime juice used lemon instead

Garnishes
Coriander leaves / parsley leaves
Lime slice

Method
1) Heat oil in wok. Sauté chopped onion. Once onion is transparent, add grated ginger. Cook until fragrant. Next put in the green curry paste and lemon grass. Stir and cook for couple of minutes. Then add in mushroom, cook until slightly wilted.

2) Pour in fish stock, fish sauce, carrots, tomatoes. Let it boil and simmer until vegetable is tender.
