This soup is also called Tom Kha Gai. I've had it numerous times before in Thai Restaurants but this is the first time I've made it at home and I was very pleased with the result. I got the recipe from my favourite Thai cookbook "The Complete Book of Thai Cooking" by Linda Stephen. Read more Made it this evening and our friend had three helpings. Gotta love that! :) See less
