Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.

Many moons ago I discovered the joys of Tom Yum soup. On a two week holiday to Thailand I was so hooked I had it every day. Here’s my version of what has to be one of my favourite ever Thai dishes. I’ve used King Prawns and chicken but you could omit the chicken and add another seafood such as mussels or squid. If you make the broth in a larger batch decant some into a freezable container – defrosted and reheated at a later date will make a speedy lunch or starter. Just add the prawns to the hot stock 5 minutes before serving.
