Instructions

1. Peel the prawns. Place heads and shells in pot, reserve meat.
2. Bash the garlic, chili and lemongrass so they burst open to release flavor. Add into pot.
3. Crush lime leaves with your hands. Add into pot.
4. Add ginger, water and stock. Bring to simmer over high heat, cover, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Strain the broth, discard the prawn shells and lemongrass, keep chili, ginger, garlic and lime leaves, then return broth into same pot over low heat.
6. Add onions and mushrooms, simmer 5 minutes.
7. Add coconut milk. Add tomato paste, simmer for 3 minutes.
8. Add prawns, simmer 5 minutes or until cooked.
9. Stir in fish sauce, simmer for 1 minute.
10. Add lime juice, then taste. Adjust fish sauce and lime to your taste. Add more water, coconut milk, tomato paste to taste. You will know!
11. Cook covered over low heat for another 10-20 minutes.
12. Ladle into bowls and serve with chili and fresh cilantro/coriander!

This is a gorgeous recipe!
It is borderline medicine! Tom Kha soup boosts your immune system. It is very dense in nutrients and the spice combination keeps the immune system high. We cooked this soup in December, and we became instantly addicted!

Although the Thai recipe is made with galangal, we used ginger as a substitute and the result was still amazing. Next time we'll try it with galangal.
