Tom Yum Soup with Prawns

A full-flavoured version of the Thai hot and sour soup made with a proper prawn-head broth. Whole king prawns are essential here — the shells and heads go into the base, which is what gives the soup its depth. Finished with coconut milk, fish sauce, makrut lime leaves, and oyster mushrooms. Optional Thai chilli jam adds an extra layer.
