Tom kha gai or Thai Coconut Soup is a hot sweet soup made with coconut milk, lemon grass and chicken. The name literally translates to boiled galangal chicken. The fried chillies add a smoky flavor as well as texture, color and heat, but not so much that it overwhelms the soup.

There are other versions made with either seafood (tom kha talay) or mushroom (tom kha het) too. All follow a similar recipe.

Estimated cooking time: 45 minutes

• 17 fl oz coconut milk
• 17 fl oz chicken stock
• 5 cm of galangal , peeled and chopped, (or ginger)
• 4 lemongrass stalks , thinly sliced
• 2 kafir lime leaves
• 1 large chicken breast , cubed
