This recipe, a Paleo take on the traditional Thai coconut soup, substitutes Paleo-compliant ingredients for non-Paleo ones while preserving the original flavors.
Ingredients: 1 can full-fat coconut milk. 3 cups chicken broth. 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed. 4 kaffir lime leaves. 1 inch piece of galangal, thinly sliced. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced. 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced. 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons fish sauce. 1 tablespoon coconut aminos. 1 tablespoon lime juice. 1 teaspoon chili paste optional. 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped. Salt, to taste.
Instructions: In a large pot, combine coconut milk, chicken broth, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. Add sliced chicken breasts, mushrooms, and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, coconut aminos, lime juice, and chili paste if using. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove lemongrass stalk and kaffir lime leaves from the soup. Season with salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly Tom Kha Gai Thai Coconut Soup!
