Thai Tom Kha Gai with Chicken and Coconut Milk
Thai chicken soup with coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and a finishing touch of lime and fish sauce.
Tom kha gai combines chicken and coconut milk with the citrusy aromas of galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. This version follows a Thai preparation with chicken broth, mushrooms, and cilantro; the firmer aromatics flavor the soup and can be left in the bowl uneaten.
