Tom Kha Kai (chicken Coconut Soup) image

This is my favourite Thai Soup. Everyone seem to like Tom Yum Koong (the seafood one) but i prefer this creamy one...and the heat is flexible...depending on how much you can handle. Recipe from www.10thaidish.athailand.com

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. It didn't have the creamy consistency that I was expecting.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.
