Thai Tom Kha Soup

A little creamy, salty, spicy, sweet and full of flavor. This soup has it all and is the perfect summertime dish. Light, bright, and warming all at the same time. I’m not fully sure why I’ve been so obsessed with soup this summer but I’m here for it! Tom Kha is traditionally so creamy which is why full fat coconut milk does the trick! This is one of my favorite soups to order when out at my go to restaurants.

The Goods:

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• 1 onion, sliced

• 1 inch cube ginger, minced

• 2 tbsp coconut aminos

• 2 tsp sesame oil 

• 1 stem lemon grass

• 2 tbsp liquid aminos

• 1 tsp chili paste

• 2 tsp salt 

• 1 tsp agave

• 1 can full fat coconut milk

• 4 cup veggie broth

• 1 cup button mushrooms 

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

• 1 cup green beans or zucchini, cut in half

• 1 cup broccoli florets 

• 1 green onion, sliced

• 1 block tofu, cubed

• 1 lime squeezed + extra wedges

• basil leaves as garnish

• chili oil

The Method:

1. In a 5 qt. soup pot, heat the coconut oil over medium high. Once hot, add the onions and pinch of salt. Sauté and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

2. Next, add the ginger, coco aminos and sesame oil. Stir and cook for 1-2 minute.

3. Grab the lemongrass, and with your knife open it up, and toss it in. Sauté for 1 minute.

4. Add the chili paste, liquid aminos, salt, and agave and cook down for 60 seances. Now add the coconut milk and cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently. Pour in the veggie broth and cook for at least 20 minutes to let the flavor do its thing!

5. Taste the broth and see if you like the spicy level. This part is different than usual other soup recipes. You will turn off the heat and toss in button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, green beans or zucchini, broccoli florets, green onion, and tofu, and lime.

6. The veggies will cook perfectly on their own from the residual heat. Just cover with a lid and set aside.

7. Serve in bowls with loose basil leaves, extra green onion slices, and lime wedges!
