Introduction
A rich and fragrant Thai soup that balances sour, spicy, salty, and sweet notes. This creamy variation uses evaporated milk and Thai chili jam to create a satisfying, deeply aromatic broth.
Step 1
Peel the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalks, cut them diagonally into 2-inch pieces, and place them in a wok or pot with about 4 cups of water.
Step 2
Add chicken bouillon powder to the water and stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer to start infusing the lemongrass.
Step 3
Remove the central stems from the makrut lime leaves, tear them into pieces to release their oils, and add them to the pot.
Step 4
Slice the galangal thinly (6-7 slices) and add them directly into the simmering soup base.
Step 5
Core and chop the tomato into small pieces, then add them to the wok.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Traditional aromatics like lemongrass, galangal, and makrut lime leaves are meant for infusing flavor and are typically not eaten.
Lime juice is preferred, but lemon juice works well as a substitute if limes are unavailable.
Do not boil the soup vigorously after adding the citrus juice, as it can make the soup taste bitter.
Keep leftover tofu stored in a container filled with fresh water in the fridge to prevent it from drying out.
