TOM KHA with Mushrooms and Peppers

TOM KHA with Mushrooms and Peppers

Like so many food experiences from my past, I’ve since worked studiously at replicating the mysterious comfort of Tom Kha; the meaning of the words together are quite simple, TOM translated as “boiling a broth” while KHA is “galangal” and then when listed as the familiar TOM KHA GAI, it’s served with chicken. I love it with poultry and shrimp, but the base soup also stands up brilliantly to vegetables; hence, my version with peppers and hearty mushrooms is every bit as satisfying as other recipes with chicken, shellfish, or meat.
