Sauté the veggies. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the lemongrass, garlic, grated ginger, and jalapeno. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Make the broth. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, and lime juice. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Use a large sieve to fish out the lemon grass. Discard the lemongrass.
Finish it off. Stir in the mushrooms and the noodles. Simmer for about 6 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through.

Ginger: If you use ground ginger, you will need about 3/4 teaspoons of it.

Balance of Flavors: Tom Yum soup should balance spicy, sour, and savory flavors. Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
