I was supposed to go out with friends for dinner the other night but I called them and told them I was sick and shouldn't go out. About an hour later, they showed up at the door with some Tom Ka soup from the Thai place in Harvard Square. Isn't that sweet?
It helped my sore throat and I really felt like it was really restorative so I thought I would make a batch of my own so I could have it again. This isn't vegetarian but I did find recipes online for it. I think you could just use vegetable stock and leave out the fish sauce.
You could also add chicken which is called Tom Ka Gai.
There are a lot of different recipes on line. This is how I made mine:
To make the broth I used:
1 quart chicken stock
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, diced
2 tablespoons lemongrass, chopped
(1) lb. cubed chicken breast
These are the vegetables I used for my bowl of soup:
7 pea pods
7 green beans
7 pieces of raw zucchini
7 slices of onion
7 pieces of baby corn
4 cremini mushrooms (cut into 7 slices)
a few broccoli florets
7 slivers of ginger root
7 carrot flowers
some cilantro leaves
