Tom Kha Gai or Chicken in Coconut Milk Soup.
This soup is one of the most well known soups in Thailand. It has a creamy consistency and has a lovely lemony flavour to it. It is not as spicy as the hot and sour prawn soup but you can add extra chillies if you want. If you do not want to make the soup so rich and creamy then you can use equal quantities of thick and thin coconut milk.
