I was trying to find a soup that would taste like the one from our favorite Thai restaurant. This recipe did not disappoint. I make it exactly how the recipe instructs and keep more chili on the side for those who like extra spice. This is a favorite in my household and I've also had several requests for the recipe when I've made it for guests.

This recipe is so easy a caveman could do it!. I was going for the taste of the tom ka gai soup from the best restaurant in town, and this recipe was even better. The only thing the recipe leaves out is the amount of water you should add. The first stages of the recipe when the soup is boiling makes the soup a bit thicker. But you can also just put a lid on the pot. Still it came out fantastic; all my friends loved it!!!
