TOM KHA KAI (CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP) 2
When my family visited Thailand a few years ago I fell in love with this soup. This is an adaptation from a recipe in the Amazing Tastes of Thailand booklet put out by the Thailand Tourism Authority.

Steps:
- Cut lower portion of lemon grass into 1 inch lengths and crush.
- Tear kaffir lime leaves in half.
- Combine half the coconut milk with the broth, galangal, lemon grass and lime leaves in a large saucepan and heat to boiling.
- Add the chicken, fish sauce and sugar.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked, then add remaining coconut milk.
- Heat just to boiling, add chili paste and lime juice, stir until blended.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and crushed chili peppers.
- NOTE: The galangal and lemon grass are for flavoring, not to eat! When I can't get fresh kaffir lime leaves at my local Asian market, I substitute kaffir lime powder. Fresh leaves, lemon grass and galangal can all be successfully frozen.
