Ultimate Thai Tom Kha Soup
Ingredients
  • 4 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer parts removed, thinly sliced
  • 1 (2 inch) piece galangal, thinly sliced
  • 2 fresh Thai chile peppers, minced
  • 6 makrut lime leaves, thinly sliced
  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut against the grain into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 head cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 5 limes, juiced
  • 3/4 teaspoon fish sauce
Instructions
1
Combine coconut milk and chicken stock in a large pot, heating them to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Gradually decrease the heat to a medium level, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes.
3
Introduce aromatics such as cilantro, lemongrass, galangal, Thai chile peppers, and lime leaves into the pot.
4
Continue to cook the mixture for another 5 minutes, infusing it with their flavors and essences.
5
Increase the heat to a medium-high level, adding chicken to the pot.
6
Simmer the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), indicating that it is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes.
7
Add shredded cabbage to the pot and cook until it has wilted, approximately 3 minutes.
8
This will help to tenderize the cabbage and blend its flavors with the rest of the soup.
9
Remove the pot from the heat source, stirring in a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dash of fish sauce.
10
This will enhance the overall flavor profile of the soup, balancing its acidity and umami notes.
