29. Tom Ka Gai

Thai Chicken and Coconut Milk Soup. Our recipe came from an old Cambodian friend of my wife. We even grew lemon grass for a couple of years. I always enjoy a visit to an Asian market to find the galanga.

[Duer 157099]

47. Mmmm... recipe?

I also used to grow my own lemon grass, for thai soups.

Sizzling rice soup would be my second favorite.

[BrotherBuzz]

61. Takia (prounounced Takai) AKA tom cah kia

Thai Chicken Coconut Milk Soup

1 can (14 oz.) coconut milk
14 oz. broth from chicken
5-6 dried lime leaves
lemon grass, 1 plant, chopped into 2" pieces
galanga (dried roots, similar to ginger) 3-4 pieces
1/2 chicken, cooked (simmered in water to cover for ~20 minutes) and cut into bite size pieces
1 small white onion, sliced
8 or so mushrooms, sliced
bit of cayenne(to taste)
1 teaspoon sugar
fresh juice of 4-6 limes (can use part lemon juice, but lime flavor is essential)
good Chinese fish sauce (not fishy)- 1 tablespoon or taste
Cilantro and scallions to garnish

Simmer the chicken broth adding lime leaves, lemon grass, and galanga. After several minutes strain and add coconut milk, chicken, onion, mushrooms, and simmer 3 minutes. Add bit of cayenne.
Finally, add sugar, lime/lemon juice, Chinese fish sauce. Heat to simmer then serve and garnish with cilantro and scallions.

This recipe was originally recited from memory (in english), then written. (fun part is having some of the ingredients written in Cambodian? that explain the different names for the soup: Takia = Lemon Grass, Cah = dried root of Galanga, etc.) This is a killer dish that holds its own to any restaurant fare. Enjoy!

[Duer 157099]

62. thank you!

This recipe looks similar to how I used to make it years ago, when I had my lemon grass garden.

One year I discovered some jarred Porcini mushrooms at Trader Joe's, and used those instead of straw mushrooms, and WOW that just put the soup over the top.

Unfortunately, those mushrooms were one of those Trader Joe items that disappeared and I've stopped made the soup since then, because it just wouldn't be the same! I even tried using dried porcini mushrooms, but it just wasn't anywhere near how the other recipe was.

I might have to use the net, now that I think of it, and track down some similar type of product on some gourmet website... then I will be able to make this soup again!

Thanks for the recipe, and reminding me of how much I loved making this soup...

[BrotherBuzz]

68. You're on to something with the mushrooms...

The first time I had the dish in a restaurant they used neat small mushrooms with stems attached (straw mushrooms?) that worked wonderfully. Porcini mushrooms are more flavorful then common button mushrooms and canned would be easier to have on hand then fresh. Have you tried an Asian market for a possible substitute?

[Duer 157099]

72. I have kept my eyes out whenever I shop

But the closest I found were dried porcini, and it just didn't work well (could be I got some poor quality dried ones).

I insist that you try it with porcini mushrooms next time you make it, that is, if you can find some good ones. You'll never go back (but for me that was a bad thing, since I won't make it anymore until I find the right mushrooms)

lol...

[BikeWriter]

48. Save the World Chicken Soup

Save the World Chicken Soup
Let's see if I can remember the list... A whole boiled chicken, chopped up (I dice the skin and leave most of it in the soup, it is supposed to have medicinal qualities), Anaheim green chilis, yellow onions, garlic, Brussels sprouts, brocolli, cauliflower, fresh snow peas, carrots, and a couple of cans of Mexican-style corn. If you use regular corn add some pimento, or a big red bell pepper or two. Mushrooms are welcome in most anything I cook, and a big can of tomatoes works well in this, too.
The major seasonings I use in it are Tony Chachere's Seafood Seasoning, fresh ground black pepper, bay leaves, basil, oregano, and sage. Oh, and a smidgen of cumin. :-)
This has to be served with an iron skillet of corn bread, of course. My Father-in-law the first time I made it was eighty-something years old. I sent some soup to him in one of those big plastic bowls butter comes in, with half of a big square skillet of cornbread. Mom-in-law ate one bowl, he ate the rest at one sitting. He pronounced it THE best chicken soup he'd ever eaten. :-)

[thedailyshow]

I learned this in Barcelona from a relative.

6-8 garlics-cook til just tan color-not brown
Slowly add water, as much as desired.
Pinch of salt.
Now smash up the garlics and serve.

[fortyfeetunder]

70. Homemade turkey bone soup

I always cook my turkey on the grill, leaving a nice smoky bone. Then I put that bone in a pot of water to make a tasty broth.

Today's soup will feature wild rice, some canned tomatoes, and the Costco Normandy Blend veggies....
