Best Ever Tom Kha Gai - Thai Coconut Soup

Absolutely delicious recipe - though I did improvise. Used Canned coconut milk (didn't know I read the recipe wrong until going through the comments), added glass noodles, pak choi, peppers, and beansprouts for a fuller lunch option. Will definitely be making again! May try using 1.5x broth and only one tin of coconut milk. It was verrrrry creamy with the two tins.

Wowza I REALLY screwed up on this recipe!! I had accidentally used Coco Lopez "cream of coconut" before I saw the notes at the end about making sure to NOT USE THAT. Evidently "coconut cream" and "cream of coconut" are two vastly different things! It was revolting and unsalvageable (and believe me, I tried). I will reattempt this expensive recipe another time.

I've made this before and it's too sweet, imo with the coconut cream. I like to use 2 cans of coconut milk, and it's the perfect flavor.

Makes over 2.5 litres, so needs largest pot and left over storage

Turned out really great but can’t wait to make it again because I didn’t have red curry paste and ended up using a nice curry powder. Everyone loved it though and it was a lot of fun to make.

Really nice but too spicy for me

After 3 tries, finally perfected the recipe for my taste 😋

We liked this, but it really lacked heat. I will be playing with it to add more spice to it as there was virtually nothing in the recipe as is. (Could have been the Jalapeño I used was too bland). Was able to add cayenne pepper to get it where I wanted.

Emma made this. She said: I skipped the chicken and the sugar and used green curry instead of red curry

I added small cubes of potatoes. Came out great

This recipe is SO easy and delicious. Tom Kha is one of my favorites and now I don't know why I haven't been making it at home forever.

Classic and tasty Thai soup. Go on an adventure to your local Asian supermarket for some of the more interesting ingredients! If you can't find galangal, the best substitute is to use 1 tablespoon young, fresh ginger root with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
