Tom Kha Gai - Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

4 cups stock - Chicken stock made 2 lb chicken thighs or breasts, seasoned with carrots celery onions, salt, pepper, a little white wine - strained

1 lb Meat from chicken pulled from bone (reserved)

Heat broth

add

A large piece ginger 1” X 11/2” split down the middle
1 cup thin sliced carrots
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp chili garlic sauce (or ¼ tsp ground cayenne or Thai Chili Paste)
1 cup green onions chopped
2 Tablespoons fish sauce

1 tsp sugar
Juice of one lime
The chicken, sliced into medallions or shredded
One can coconut milk
One can half and half (optional)

You can add mushrooms or green beans at very last or when dish up. These should be crisp tender. I like at least the mushrooms in my soup.

Serve over jasmine rice.
