Tom Kha Gai is a popular Thai soup known for its rich, creamy texture and aromatic flavors. This dish combines coconut milk, chicken, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, mushrooms, and chili, offering a balance of savory, sour, and slightly sweet notes. Originating from Thailand, it is a favorite in Thai cuisine for its comforting warmth and complexity. Tom Kha Gai provides a source of protein from chicken and contains healthy fats from coconut milk. Galangal, lemongrass, and lime leaves contribute antioxidants and immune-boosting properties. However, the soup can be high in saturated fat due to the coconut milk and may include added sugars, depending on preparation. Pairing Tom Kha Gai with whole-grain rice or reducing the coconut milk can make it a more balanced option for those monitoring fat intake or aiming to increase fiber in their meal.
