Chicken & Poultry

Tom Kha Gai

November 7, 2017

Today my daughter was home from school sick, and when I asked her what she wanted for lunch, instead of requesting the classic chicken noodle soup, she requested this thai chicken coconut soup instead, which is one of our favorites. I know I throw the word “favorite/favoUrite” around a lot, (don’t mind me, I never know whether to spell British or American English)! But seriously, this is mine and my kids most-loved soup, and it checks so many of the boxes too: super quick & simple to make and to clean up, healthy (enough!) Feeds a crowd, (or makes plenty for leftovers), and everyone seems to love it. Minus my husband who would prefer a 5-star spicy Tom Yum instead. (Which I can post about later). Anyway, if you love thai food, coconut soup, or just want to try something different to your standard chicken noodle, try this recipe! I hope it becomes one of your new favorites too! 

Tom Yum (Thai Chicken Coconut Soup)

Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 Mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced into small wedges
  • 3 tsp lazy garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger paste/ground ginger
  • 1 Lb Chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 (15oz) cans coconut milk
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 tsp (herb ox) chicken bouillon
  • 16 tsp Tom Kha paste/1 small jar
  • 4 plum tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • juice of 2 limes
  • Cilantro to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium high-heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add the chicken and mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are tender, and chicken is cooked through, or no longer pink inside, (about 7 minutes).
  3. Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, Tom Kha paste, fish sauce and sugar. Stir and heat through. Add the lime juice, serve, then garnish with fresh cilantro.
