Sorry to hear you're feeling rotten....however if you feel well enough to work on that h/s soup recipe please remember to share it!!!! Hope you feel better. MsDee I didn't do that. Last night I copped out and bought some H&S soup. I was going to dilute it to make it less carby, but all I did was add more heat and sourness. Now I just put together a sort-of cross between Tom Kha Gai and Tom Yum Goong. Not that great either. It probably doesn't help that I wasn't following a real recipe. Unless I have MY H&S soup recipe in a notebook, I have no idea it is. It isn't jotted down in my favorite books anyway. Ack! I do still have to cull some of my Asian recipes.... Nope, not there either. Here is my recipe for Tom Kha Gai. I would have done MUCH better if I had followed it. Maybe I will get the ingredients tomorrow. It IS chicken soup.... Tom Kha Gai (ca 3) (exc for LC) 2 14-oz cans coconut milk 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast 6 slices galangal (or use dried, soaked for 15 minutes and drained) 1 stalk lemongrass, outer layers removed, peeled and sliced 5 kaffir lime leaves, in pieces 2-3 chiles, broken up 5 peppercorns 15-oz can straw mushrooms, drained 1/2 tsp sugar (use your favorite sugar sub) 2 tsp fish sauce 2 tsp lime juice 1/3 c chopped cilantro Spoon most of the solids out of the cans of coconut milk and reserve. Place liquid in pot with chicken, galangal, lemongrass, lime leaves, peppercorns, straw mushrooms, and sugar. (Your life will be easier if the galangal, lemongrass, lime leaves, and peppercorns are in cheesecloth or some little perforated container.) Stirring, occasionally, bring slowly to a boil over medium heat, and simmer, still stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked but not dry. Remove chicken from pot, and add coconut milk solids, fish sauce, and lime juice to pot. Heat to just below the boiling point, stirring constantly (or just about). Slice the chicken meat and return it to the pot. Add cilantro and serve. Jean B. via asdl-c -- Jean B. |

It looks great, but I'm not that adventurous a cook and I'm not even sure what some of the ingredients are. Guess I'll just have to lick the screen. Little more salt, please. Tasty! Brenda W |

It's very easy--BUT you do have to have access to the ingredients. I am lucky because not I don't even have to go all the way to Boston's Chinatown to get them. BUT I don't want to go far afield today. I do hope I have all the esoteric ingredients here already. -- Jean B. |

I second Brenda's motion. Sounds great but think I would have to go to Portland at the very least to find those exotic ingredients! Unless I schlepp down there for a taste test! I can then pick up those ingreds! I am saving this recipe. You never know when Shaws or Hannaford will carry those things, or a quick jaunt to Portland may do the trick! Pam |

Pam I don't know about Hannaford, but the big Shaws near me has a nice international section. It may have been a bit better when it was a Star Market, but I'm not totally sure of that. Some of the things one sees at regular supermarkets now used to be totally unavailable except in Chinatown, so anything can happen. Whole Foods has even more esoteric ingredients, even though its international section is smaller. I need to find some of the ingredients I need and HOPE they are in the freezer door. If not, I'm not particularly in a mood to underatke a major hunt--or have the contents of the freezer avalanching out when I probe more deeply. I did get the chicken and cilantro though. (Who knows why, since I don't think I'll be able to taste the soup at all. I REALLY want tomato soup, but that's too carby--and it turns out the tomato soup clone I found on some LC forum is also very carby. Oh well.) -- Jean B. |
