Tom Ka Gai (Thai Chicken Coconut Soup)

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Meat and Poultry

Our family loves this soup. It seems to help fight colds or at least cold symptoms, but we like it anytime, not just when we're sick!

"This is a refreshing creamy soup. My husband doesn't care for the taste of coconut and he loved this since it has a very delicate taste. This will be added to my favorites."

Tasty soup, but I ended up adding various veggies in my fridge, as well. Lemongrass would also be a good addition.
