I love Thai food, especially the yummy curries and rice noodle dishes. For years, I have been successfully making red curry chicken which I normally serve with Jasmine rice. For years, I have been looking for a recipe for Coconut Curry Soup with Chicken (also known as Tom Kha) that I could make at home to rival the soups I enjoy when eating out in restaurants. The dish has such a complex mix of sweet, savory, salty,spicy flavors that is is very difficult to get the blend right. I feel like I finally found a recipe (which of course I have modified) that works.
It was pretty easy to make and the ingredients are available at Safeway. Although, sometimes it is difficult to find fresh lemongrass, so you might want to call ahead to verify they have it. I particularly like the Thai Kitchen products. The curries are very flavorful and the stir fry noodles are excellent in this recipe.
I'm using Big Oven to keep track of my recipes. You can find all the details for this recipe here:
Enjoy this delicious, yummy soup! I know I will be making this recipe again and again!
