Wonderful. We added in more mushrooms! We will make again!

Been making variations of this for years and I really liked this as a bass recipe. I added tajin since I didn't have Thai chilis or lime juice (only small limes). This gave it some sour and heat flavors. Since I didn't measure anything and was making a large amount, I needed to increase the fish sauce and used about 4.5 inches of ginger, shallots and fresh garlic ground in my food processor.

THIS is the PERFECT Tom Kha recipe. Ignore all the other recipes on the site, this is the one that will get you the sort of soup you get in the restaurants.
Added: 1/2 tbsp Garam Marsala, 1/3 tbsp Coriander, 4 garlic cloves (sliced into quarters).

A very tasty soup but honestly nowhere near 8 portions, we added rice noodles and sugarsnaps, and it still only served 4. Very tasty though - a good chicken stock is key so I did as recommended and boiled my chicken and used that water. Used lemongrass paste and a mix of kaffir lime leaves/lime juice. Would probably make again but add much more veg

Relatively quick and a nice flavor. I couldn’t get lemongrass at my usual grocery store. So, used lemon zest.

Everyone liked it. Added bell pepper and 2 tsp Thai chili paste, simmered in yellow onion instead of green, and used lemongrass paste instead of stalk. Cilantro, lime, and sriracha garnish are musts.

Didn’t turn out as good as the soup we had in that Thai restaurant in Sydney but still really nice!

I loved it but I would recommend doubling the lime and adding spice! My family loved it. I also added carrots !

so good! definitely add the thai chilli. just one one dried one is plenty. very fast and can easily be made vegetarian. no need to strain the broth if ypu can remove the lemongrass or let it sink to the bottom.

Delicious! I boiled the chicken and used the water as the broth. Also added red and yellow peppers for girth. Will definitely make again!

Yummly User 6 years ago
Was great. I was catering for a vegie so i used veg stock and extra mushrooms and a few sweet yellow/red peppers. Will defo have again (big hit)
Yummly User 6 years ago
Fantastic.
People went back for seconds.
I would have preferred a bit more heat, so I will add some chilli to the base mixture next time.
Loved it

so good! i modified mine a bit and added radishes, yellow and red pepper and bok choy. everyone loved it.

Quick and easy. Had me hunting for lemongrass but it was worth it. I made the chicken stock and added more lime juice. Definitely better with a spicy kick so have some hot peppers handy.

Soooo good! Followed it exactly but boiled a chicken breast in the water to make the broth. Toppings were cilantro, red pepper, peanuts (yum!), greens of the green onion, lime, and added vermicelli noodles, so good!!

my friends loved it! Was a great "pick me up"

Great!! Lite, since I used lite coconut milk, and citrusy. The broth is the best part.
Yummly User 7 years ago
I made a light version with Lite coconut milk, I added about 3 TB thin sliced red bell pepper, 1-1/2 TB Thai Chili Garlic Sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes. I used white mushrooms, 2 cans Kirkland chicken breast, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 2 TB lemongrass from a tube, salt, and pepper to taste. Everything else was the same. Added cilantro and green onions on top. Only about 215 calories per 1-1/2 cups and DELICIOUS!

Really good recipe. Followed as written. I used dried kaffir leaves I found on amazon since I can't find them fresh. Tasted just like the soup I buy at my restaurant and it was really fast to make.
Yummly User 8 years ago
This is really good! I substituted cooked ground chicken for shredded and used a 32 oz box of coconut cream. one box of organic chicken stock with a cup and a half of homemade turkey bone broth I had in the freezer, and the juice of a whole lime. Will definitely want to have this again!

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quite easy. Next time, I think I'd back off on the coconut milk just a tad and add a bit more lime juice. Other than that, it was great!
