TOM KA KAI (THAI COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP)
This is my husband's all time favorite Thai soup - but up until now, I haven't been able to recreate it at home. I've played around with several versions to come up with this one. The authentic ingredients make a HUGE difference - although you can use substitutions, of course, it does affect the outcome. I have been able to find the galangal root (much preferred over ginger!!), the lemongrass, and the kaffir lime leaves at my local asian market. Yum yum yum, worth the extra shopping trip!

Steps:
- In the bottom of a large soup pot, heat the oil over high heat until very hot but not smoking. I often make this is a wok on the stove.
- Salt the chicken and add to oil, tossing to brown all the pieces. Cook about 3 minutes or until outside is browned, but not necessarily cooked all the way through.
- Add mushrooms and toss. Allow to cook until some of the moisture is cooked out and the mushrooms are soft. Turn down heat to medium-low.
- To prepare the lemongrass, slice and mince the lower portion and reserve the stalk to flavor the soup. You can use a food processor for this, or just mince it by hand. The woody upper portion of the stalk will be removed later, so don't chop it up, simply score it by making a few superficial cuts in it to allow it to flavor the soup.
- Add the whites of the onions, reserving the greens. Add the minced lower portion of the lemongrass, grated galangal, and chilies. Toss until just warmed through.
- Add the lemongrass stalk, lime leaves, chicken stock, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and remaining onions, reserving just a few for garnish. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend well.
- Taste test and adjust flavors as follows:.
- Not salty enough - add more fish sauce.
- Too sour - add a little more brown sugar.
- Too spicy - add more coconut milk.
- Not spicy enough - add more chilies.
- Ladle into 4 soup bowls and garnish with remaining onion greens, cilantro, and basil.
- Variations:.
- Add more vegetables such as some sliced red bell peppers with the mushrooms.
- Serve over wide rice noodles for a main dish serving.
- Make vegetarian by increasing mushrooms in place of chicken and substituting vegetable stock.

TOM KHA KAI (CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP)
This is my favourite Thai Soup. Everyone seem to like Tom Yum Koong (the seafood one) but i prefer this creamy one...and the heat is flexible...depending on how much you can handle. Recipe from www.10thaidish.athailand.com

TOM KHA GAI (CHICKEN GALANGAL SOUP)
My first trip to Thailand I stumbled upon this soup and loved it so much I lingered around the restaurant until I was hungry enough to go back inside and eat more! I enjoyed it on subsequent trips to Thailand and at Thai restaurants in the U.S. Naturally I would attempt to make it myself and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was. I tried several online recipes of which I gathered tips and experience. The measurements used in this recipe have been tweaked little by little. Tips: - The Galangal root and Lemongrass are not expected to be eaten, they are added for flavor! - The Chicken breasts are easier to cut if slightly frozen. - Reserving some of the Coconut for the end makes the final color of the soup brighter. - Before slicing Lemongrass bruise slightly to aid flavor release. - Lime juice is added last because it loses effectiveness when cooked. - This soup is commonly garnished with Cilantro. I don't care for it. * The Galangal root and Kaffir Lime leaves can be tricky to find, check your local Asian market. All the ingredients can also be purchased online. There are even Tom Kha Gai kits online with all the fresh vegetables!
