Tom Yam Kay Soup (Chicken)
Tom Yam Kay is a popular Thai hot and sour soup made with tender pieces of chicken simmered in a flavorful, aromatic broth. This soup gets its signature tangy and spicy kick from ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, fresh lime juice, and Thai bird’s eye chilies. The broth is usually infused with fish sauce and a hint of sugar to balance the flavors, along with mushrooms, tomatoes, and fresh herbs like cilantro for freshness. Served steaming hot, Tom Yam Kay is bold, zesty, and deeply aromatic — a comforting soup that’s both light and invigorating, perfect for those who love a punch of heat and vibrant citrusy flavors in every spoonful!
