Tom Kha Recipes

I order this soup at my favorite Thai places every time I go--this recipe is to my taste, so yours may need to change a bit after you taste it.

This is an awesome soup that I enjoy on a regular basis. This recipe is copied from one that I found on the internet and enjoy VERY much! Below is the description of the soup, as it appears on the recipe original. I found no need to change it!

Ao here is the description-
This simple Thai chicken soup has that distinctive Thai flavor - a balance of spicy, salty, sweet and sour. You will especially welcome this soup's warmth during the winter, when it can also provide you with added health benefits, helping to ward off the cold or flu. Tom Ka Gai can either be served as an appetizer or as the star player (noodles can be added if you're planning to make this soup as a main entree).

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

Tom kha is a creamy, spicy, satisfying Thai soup with coconut milk. This is my fake, health-friendly version that skips hard-to-find ingredients such as lime leaf and galangal and relies heavily on improvsation. This provides 19 grams of protein and 150 calories per generous serving. (It does still have a lot of sodium, which could largely be eliminated by making your chicken or shrimp broth as a base.)

Thai Coconut Soup for us vegetarians and vegans with great flavour and little calories!

This is a great soup for the cold seasons, or those times when you have a cold. The spices and broth help keep the immune system active, and it is also good to soothe a sore throat or cough.

Tangy and spicy, this soup quickly became a frequent meal in our family, especially in winter.

Tailor the spiciness to your tastes by varying the amount of Crushed Red Pepper, Chili Garlic, and Chili Oil.

I love the Thai soup Tom Kha. Sometimes I buy it canned and slim it down a little. Then I have the option of adding chicken, mushrooms, or cilantro if I have them around. It satisfies my craving without having to go out to eat!

Lightened version of the traditional Thai soup

Easy one dish meal, vegan. I used broccoli, cauliflower and baby potatoes (calories calculated for these), but you can use any vegetables you have on hand.

I use the packet of Tom Kha paste from the Thai market, and fresh lemongrass--it is easy to grow!

This recipe scales beautifully - just multiply the ingredients below. I've included substitutions for ingredients you may not have easily at hand, but a trip by an asian grocery will turn up everything on this list handily. I buy lots of lemongrass and galanga ahead, then chop and freeze in pre-sorted ziplok bags for future use. They keep quite well. You can also do this with the shallots, coriander root, and kaffir lime leaves.

Like the soup, but lighter!
