Tom Kha Kai (chicken Coconut Soup) image

This is my favourite Thai Soup. Everyone seem to like Tom Yum Koong (the seafood one) but i prefer this creamy one...and the heat is flexible...depending on how much you can handle. Recipe from www.10thaidish.athailand.com

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less chili paste. The coconut broth was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Overall, this soup was a success. The broth was flavorful and creamy, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. However, I found the soup to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I will use less chili paste.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used store-bought coconut milk and it still turned out great. I also added some extra vegetables, like carrots and bell peppers. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
