I would suggest getting soem bottled paste. I bought mine from NTUC for a few dollars. Use a teaspoon's worth for soup for 2 people and adjust accordingly for more people adding some sugar and fish suace to balance out the taste.

Sometimes, I use the paste to flavour beehoon and it is rather nice for change.

Hope this helps

I personally prefer the clear tomyam soup as opposed to the ones where they add chilli paste into it. The following is what I normally use

Lemon Grass
Gelangal
Lime Leaves
Lime Juice (from the big limes, not the small local ones)
assam peel/skin
chilli padi (red & green)
fish sauce

2 cloves garlic, chopped stock
2 tablespoons fish sauce
185g (6oz) peeled prawns
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

1. Put the fish stock, lime leaves and lemon grass in a pan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

2. Cut the chillies into rings, discarding the seeds unless you want a fiery hot soup! Add the chilly rings to the pan with the squid, garlic and fish sauce and cook for a further 10 minutes.

3. Add the prawns and heat through, then stir in the lime juice and salt.

4. Pour into individual bowls and sprinkle with the coriander
