Preparation

1. Prepare the Aromatics

Begin by smashing the lemongrass stalks with the back of a knife to release their flavors. Slice the galangal root into thin pieces. If using whole Kaffir lime leaves, tear them to help release their aroma. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Vegetables

Clean and slice the mushrooms. Cube the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

3. Simmer the Broth

In a pot, combine the coconut milk and chicken broth. Add the smashed lemongrass, galangal slices, torn Kaffir lime leaves, and bird's eye chili. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

4. Add the Vegetables

Once the broth is simmering, add the sliced mushrooms and cubed tofu. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

5. Season the Soup

Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more fish sauce or lime juice if desired.

6. Finish and Serve

Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving. Enjoy your delicious Thai Tom Kha Soup!
