When we stayed in California we lived with a beautiful family with 6 kids, for 6 months. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences of my life. I also grew tremendously in my cooking, as I would cook every day with the Mama of the home, food for the family. One evening her older daughter came to visit and she wanted to make us a meal. She make Tom Kha Gai!! Oh my goodness me, I feel in love with this soup. We all know Thai food is out of this world, but seriously my friends, there is something so soothing and delicious and flavorful about this dish. I highly recommend it.
