The Story
If Tom Yum is Thailand's fiery soup, Tom Kha is its comforting cousin. The name points straight to its defining ingredient - kha means galangal, the aromatic root that gives the soup its gentle, citrusy warmth. Where Tom Yum is built on a clear, sharp broth, Tom Kha is softened with coconut milk into something rich and soothing.
It shares the same aromatic Thai foundation - lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal - but turns down the heat and turns up the comfort. It's the bowl to reach for when you want warmth rather than fire.
Kat makes hers as a proper coconut cream soup, gentle rather than spicy, for anyone who wants the fragrance of Thai herbs in a milder, more soothing form. A comforting taste of Thailand in St Albans.
