Tom Kha Creation

[surlygrrrly]

I have been craving soup lately and in my quest for an easy soup that utilized existing ingredients, I threw together my own version of Tom Kha, a spicy, sour Thai soup. It came out very well, with just the right balance of spicy, sour, coconutty, and lemongrassy. : )

That was always one of my favorite things at any Thai place. There is no vegan version in any restaurant around here, unfortunately. I thought I had found it once, when a new Thai place opened up a few years ago. I went through the usual discussion with them and they assured me of the things that could be made vegan upon request. Tom Kha was one of them, so I ordered it every time, along with my green papaya salad sans fish sauce. Until I found a piece of chicken in my soup. Have not gone back since.

I need to eat my way through California one day. There are so many options!

I will definitely let you know if I come to your neck of the woods!

Thanks! That would be fun...
