Tom Kha Gai is a famous Thai chicken and galangal soup that’s eaten more like a curry than a soup.
A variety of mushrooms, pieces of chicken, sometimes blood jelly, and lots of coconut milk to make the soup extremely rich, are the fundamental ingredients.
The soup is slightly sour from the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves while the sprigs of cilantro add a fantastic freshness and the galangal gives it a lovely earthy spice.
