Spicy Thai Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) with Chicken

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 2

Add onion, ginger, garlic, and chili-garlic sauce to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add broth, coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 4

Add mushrooms and chicken to the pot and continue to simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Step 5

When the soup is done, juice lime into the pot and stir to combine.

Step 6

To serve, divide soup between bowls. Top with green onions and cilantro.
