Savor Mama B's Flavorful Tom Kha Gai Soup Recipe

Step 1

Begin by pouring a flavorful chicken stock into a generously sized pot and bringing it to a lively boil. Once bubbling, introduce the star players: tender chicken pieces, earthy mushrooms, spicy chile peppers, fragrant lime leaves, and aromatic lemongrass. Let this vibrant mixture simmer until the chicken is cooked through and its juices run clear, usually around 10 minutes.

Step 2

Now, dial down the heat to medium and incorporate the creamy coconut milk, vibrant bell peppers, savory fish sauce, and pungent galangal. Allow these ingredients to marry together for a quick 2 minutes. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and squeeze in the zesty lime juice for that perfect tang.

Step 3

To ensure your soup is a symphony of flavors, don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. When you're satisfied with the balance, present this aromatic creation garnished with fresh green onions, fragrant basil, and zesty cilantro. Enjoy the warm and comforting bowl of goodness you've created!
