  • How to cook chicken soup. Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup) - Step 1
    Step 1

    In a medium large soup pot, add the chicken stock, coconut milk, sea salt and pepper.
    Add the spices (** Note .. it works well to put all the seasonings into a tied cheesecloth or milk nut bag .. and allow them to steep into the broth. It will save you from having to strain the pot of soup later on)
    Bring to a simmer (be careful not to boil!).. to allow the flavors to infuse into the broth (~ about 10-15 minutes, or to taste)
    Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve .. or simply remove the cheesecloth/nut milk bag.
