Thai Chicken Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Gai)

This classic chicken and coconut soup gets its rich and dynamic flavor from quintessential Thai ingredients: coconut milk, lemongrass, fresh ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, chile paste, basil, and cilantro. While warming and thoroughly comforting, this dish comes together incredibly quickly. Of course, it’s even better the next day after the flavors have had time to rest and fully meld within the thick and satisfying, savory-sweet broth. Just saying–doubling this recipe to guarantee leftovers wouldn’t be a terrible idea.
