I am fortunate enough to have a Thai restaurant owner/cook as my bestie! She makes the most fragrant and wonderful Tom Ka Gai soup. In other words, she uses chicken. She also adds button mushrooms. She will not share her recipe, so this may be what I will try instead. It looks so warm and comforting However, I too, stay away from margarine. I’d rather use butter Thank you for sharing such lovely recipes and pics!

You can get lemon grass and Thai chili in a grocery store near the farm? God bless America!

Sorry but this sounds horrible and is NOT Thai food! Margarine should not be used ever, in any type of cooking. Fat free chicken broth…what??? If you’re looking to make Tom Kha soup you need galangal and lime juice, not lemon.

I just made this soup and cannot get enough of it. Thought that I had some shrimp and when it came time to put it in the soup, I discovered it was not available. I used a tilapia filet instead. It worked beautifully.

I actually made this for dinner last night because it sounded so appealing. It was really, really good. I used some rotisserie chicken instead of the shrimp, and kept the lemongrass and ginger in large chunks, rather than chopping them, just left the broth simmering longer to infuse their flavor into the broth. I will most definitely make this again and again.

Suggestion for cleaning seeds from peppers-wear disposable gloves. Started doing this after an episode of thinking I was going to be blind after trying to put in contact lenses despite multiple hand washings.

Can you substitute the chicken stock for veg. stock? I would love to make this for my non- meat eating mother!!
