Tom Kha Gai is a traditional and quite common soup found all across the country. Also a common dish in many Thai-American restaurants, this soup has the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salt and bitter. Tom (meaning cooked) Kha (meaning galangal – which is used in curries and many other Thai dishes), and Gai (meaning chicken), literally Cooked Galangal Chicken Soup, is an incredibly aromatic dish with the perfect spice factor.
Heat the olive oil on medium-high in a medium sauce pan. Add you chicken and saute until it turns white but is not fully cooked through, about 2 – 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for a little added flavor.
Add the coconut milk, water and broth and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and add the rest of your ingredients, except the kale (this goes in at the very end, just before serving). Cover and let this cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and add your kale, letting it steam and get tender in the broth, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and serve. Top with your choice of garnish, cilantro or basil would me my two choices.
Serves 2 large bowls.
