Tom Ka Kai (also known as Tom Kha Gai) is a popular Thai soup that is made with chicken, coconut milk, and a variety of aromatic herbs and spices.

In Thailand, this soup is often eaten on hot summer days, but I think its a lovely way to warm up when the weather turns cold. It blends, sweetness with savory flavors, and a light touch of chili that’s the warming part. Try it with other starts, like the Fishcakes or lemon grass pork skewers.
