Ingredients:
4 cups of chicken broth
2 cans of coconut milk
1 cup of mushrooms
2 stalks lemongrass cut 1 inch
¼ cup of lime juice
3 tablespoons of fish sauce
¼ cup of peeled and sliced fresh ginger
2-3 cloves of minced garlic
2 Bay Leaves
2-3 teaspoons red curry paste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pound cut chicken breast
1 (or 2) green chili peppers, seeded and julienned (to desired heat)
1 (or 2) red chili peppers, seeded and julienned (to desired heat)
1/3 cup of green onions

Instructions:
Combine chicken broth, coconut milk, lemongrass (cut 1 inch and pounded with a mallet to release flavors), lime juice, fish sauce, ginger, red curry paste, peppers and coriander in crock pot.
Sauté onion, garlic and mushroom. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes but you do not have to cook all the way through as the chicken should cook fully in the soup mix. Add cooked, flatted chicken breasts (which you have seasoned to taste) to soup mix.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours in slow cooker add green onion with about 1 hour left and serve with hot rice.

I make something very similar to this, but I use a good bit more curry paste. Very good.

It looks really good. Which one has the shrimp? Is that Tom Yum?

Yes. Tom Yum is a spicy (brownish broth) with lemon grass, galangal and shrimp.

Im sure this is great, but you can make Tom Kha Gai from scratch in 30mins or less.

Would like to hear recommendations on what to change, if anything. Everyone has their own preferences with heat, curious to hear what else could make this better. Let me know how it went.

Besides more curry paste, I like to add brown sugar.

This is not my recipe so I've got no dog in this fight, but my history with any soup is the longer is cooks the better it tastes.

Kanomwan in Houston has the best Tom Yum ever. Aside from me eating Thai 3-4 times a week (and sometimes trying new spots), I spent 3 days in Bangkok and went on a mini Tom Yum mission...probably hit up ~15 different joints over 3 days. All that I've had can't touch this delicious masterpiece.






Pad Ka Pao (Basil pork/beef) is also out of this world
