Tom Kha Gai

jump to recipe

Tom Kha Gai is a Thai coconut soup. Thai cuisine is one of my absolute favorite types of cuisine. I can’t eat much of it anymore because I have a sensitivity to nightshades, but if I could, I would eat it every day. My version of this soup is nightshade-free. Tom Kha Gai is a coconut-based soup with chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, lime, garlic, and ginger. After creating this recipe, I ate it for every meal 2 days in a row. It’s that good!

This soup is a favorite of mine because it's delicious, flavorful, and easy to make. It's also Whole30 and Paleo compatible.
