Thanks for trying this tom kha gai recipe. The kaffir lime leaf is the soul of the dish, without them, it’s just not the same. Great that you found it. :)

made this today. the Kaffir lime leaves were the most difficult to find, had to go to 3 asian markets to find them. i just tasted the soup as it is simmering…………OMG! i can see why this is my wife’s favorite at “Indocine” restaurant. We will make this again, and again. Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe!

I have made this soup 3 times and have impressed my friends 3 times. I substitute chicken with prawns sometimes. For more I added 1 or 2 more chillies. Great and easy recipe!

That soup is sure a thing of beauty. It is one of my kid’s favorite soups. I haven’t made it in ages. I doubt that mine is more authentic than yours, for sure no straw mushrooms in mine (maybe a few shiitakes,) and I usually use fish. Never tried it with chicken. Beautiful Photos!

Looks amazing. I love that you added a red chile in the center of the phototograph.

I love using kaffir lime leaves. They are so fragrant. Check my veggie version at http://www.phamfatale.com/id_40/title_Vegetarian-Tom-Yum-Thai-Soup/

Hey Ivy – I know what you mean but I didn’t see any tiny little white bits in the soup from the chicken breast. I think you have to make sure the soup is boiling when you add the chicken breast? I personally don’t like thigh meat.
