Overview
Shrimp Tom Kha is a classic Thai soup that impresses with its rich, creamy flavor and vibrant aroma. The base of the soup is coconut milk, which gives it a smooth creamy texture and a slightly sweet note. Key aromatic ingredients that distinguish it from Tom Yum are galangal (a relative of ginger, but with a more citrusy and peppery aroma), lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves, which lend the soup freshness and complexity. Chili is also added for a mild spiciness. Juicy shrimp are added to this flavorful broth, which perfectly absorb the flavors. Unlike Tom Yum, Tom Kha is typically less acidic and has a milder, sweeter, and creamier profile, making it more accessible to a wider range of palates. Often served with rice
