INGREDIENTS

2 cups vegetable broth

1 can coconut milk full fat, 400 ml or 1 3/4 cups
2 stalks lemongrass diagonally sliced, tough outer covering removed
8 slices galangal 26 grams
2 large carrots chopped
4-5 white mushrooms sliced
1/2 red pepper sliced
6-7 kaffir lime leaves tear into pieces before adding
2 thai chilies or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar optional
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place a heavy bottom pan on medium heat and then add vegetable broth, coconut milk, cut
lemongrass and slices of galangal to it.

Let it come to a slow simmer, you do not want to boil the milk here. Let it heat through for 5 minutes.
2. Then add in the veggies-carrots, mushroom, pepper and stir.
3. Also add the kaffir lime leaves. Remember to tear/crush them before adding to the soup. That's what
brings out their flavor.
4. Add thai chilies as well. If you like spicy food, add more of the chilies. I like mine to be on the milder

4. Add thai chilies as well. If you like spicy food, add more of the chilies. I like mine to be on the milder
side.
5. Let the veggies simmer for around 6 to 7 minutes, then add the salt.
6. Also add the sugar (if using, I recommend it) and mix. Turn heat to low and simmer for 3 more
minutes and then remove pot from heat.
7. Stir in the chopped cilantro and mix.
8. Finally add in lime juice. Taste test and adjust spice level and salt to taste at this point.
9. Discard lemongrass, galangal and serve vegan tom kha with more cilantro and a lime wedge.

NOTES

1- This is the kind of soup that I like, if you don't want to add any broth and want it be totally creamy and
coconut, add only coconut milk - so that will be 4 cups of coconut milk in the recipe. I don't like a very
strong coconut flavor in my tom kha gai, so I thin it down with broth.
2- Adjust spice levels to taste. It should have a wonderful mix of spicy, tangy and little sweet. For a spicier
soup, add more chilies. You can even add some red chili flakes.
3- You may also add tofu to the soup.
