Hi. Does anyone know a recipe for this clear thai soup? I was like a chicken broth, spicy and had cilantro.?!


Question: It was also very sweet. I think it had some hot chille oil in it, sugar, and cilantro. It was wonderful. I like tom ka gai but this was very different. Thanks!

THAI LEMONGRASS SOUP

8 c. chicken stock
1/2 - 1 bunch cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1 inch piece of galangal (or ginger), thinly sliced
1 tsp crushed red pepper, to taste
1 Thai red chili pepper, cut into rings
2 tbsp nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
pinch of palm sugar, to taste
a few stalks of lemongrass (use about 6)

Bring the broth to a simmer. Add crushed red pepper and simmer for 5 min. Add lemongrass and galangal, simmer for another 5 min. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer a few minutes more. Serve hot.

It may have been the soup that is served with Khao mun gai, or at least a variation of it.

try either of these recipes...they both have the ingredients in them you mentioned

I love Thai soups and one of my favourites has chicken in a clear broth with cilantro, chilies and tamarind. Tamarind is made from the fruit of the same name and is it available in a paste form which is commonly used in Thai cooking.

Tamarind paste. Check foodtv.com and search for tamarind and you'll find some Thai soup recipes.

Is it Tom Yum?
