Tom chuet

Tom chuet is a simple, clear soup made with vegetables, usually Chinese cabbage, carrots, and french beans, simmered in vegetable broth along with seasonings, celery, spring onions, garlic, and soy sauce. This dish can also use chicken or pork broth instead of vegetable broth and is often enriched with pork meatballs, glass noodles, soft tofu pieces, seaweed, and mushrooms.

Also known as kaeng chuet or tom jued, this dish has a mild flavor that makes it quite different from other Thai dishes, which typically combine several flavors in one. It is traditionally served hot or warm, usually followed by other, spicier dishes.
