Thai Chicken and Coconut Soup - Taste Show

With distinctive Thai flavor – a balance of spicy, salty, sweet, and sour, this Coconut
Soup with Chicken is comfort in a bowl. Its rich and dynamic flavor comes from
quintessential Thai ingredients: coconut cream, lemongrass, fresh galangal, lime juice,
fish sauce, chili oil, and cilantro. It is easy to prepare at home if you have the right
ingredients on hand. If you can't find kaffir lime leaves or galangal at your market,
grated lime zest and fresh ginger work well as substitute.
