Chicken soup has always been good for the soul. But have you tried Thai chicken soup? Now that fall is officially here, soup seems to be the meal of the day. And if chicken soup is what you're craving, you'll want to check out my Thai Chicken Soup Recipe (Tom Ka Kai). As soon as you taste this soup, you'll recognize that distinctive but comforting Thai flavor - a balance of spicy, salty, sweet and sour. Slices of chicken breast plus fresh shiitake mushrooms are simmered in a Thai-spiced chicken broth together with coconut milk, lime juice, and fresh herbs. Makes a nice warm meal for cool fall nights. As a bonus, this soup provides you with the added health benefits of lemongrass, galangal (or ginger), shiitake mushrooms, plus fresh green herbs. Rice or egg noodles may be also be added for a well-rounded lunch or dinner. So go ahead - sip, slurp, and savor the soothing comfort a hot bowl of soup can bring!
