Thai Shrimp and Squash Soup

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 01:12:37 -0400

An aromatic herb used throughout Southeast Asia, lemongrass resembles a green onion in shape and has long, thin, gray-green leaves. Kaffir lime leaves, from the Kaffir lime tree, have a distinctive shape: They are attached in pairs, end to end. Both of these ingredients can be found in well-stocked supermarkets or Asian markets. From the kitchens of William & Sonoma. -- posted by Raquel Grinnell

Curried Coconut Chicken Soup

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:27:49 -0400

This is my version of the Thai soup Tom Kha Gai. I didn't use the kaffir lime leaves, galangal root or lemongrass that you'll typically find in the regular recipe b/c those ingredients can be hard to find. I wanted a version I could easily make with what I had on-hand & came up with this! So don't expect this soup to be exactly like real Thai coconut chicken soup... the flavor is slightly different, but I think still delicious in it's own right! Let me know what you think :-) -- posted by Kiki Freebird

Filipino Pork & Noodle Soup

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:18:13 -0500

From Sam the Cooking Guy (LOVE him!) He says, "You know how those little Jewish grandmothers are famous for their chicken soup? The little Filipino grandmothers are no different - except it's pork. Which I suppose is considerably different when comparing to a Jewish soup - but it's easily as good!" -- posted by Karen in OC

Winter Squash in Coconut Milk (Fusion Soup)

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:05:43 -0500

Is it sweet? Is it savory? Eat it warm? Eat it cold? Puree it? Leave it chunky? Yes to all! Start or finish the meal; add more brown sugar or honey if you like it sweeter. It's good every which way. For a low fat version, skip the butter and use lite coconut milk. From Mark Bittman in the New York Times. Prep time does not include time to cool. -- posted by Chef Kate

Chiang Mai Curried Noodle and Chicken Soup (Kao Soi Gai)

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:50:40 -0500

Haw Muslim traders from the south of China probably brought this dish to Chiang Mai (in northern Thailand). This version is based on one in David Thompson's authoritative book, Thai Food, and is posted in response to a request in the Asian Forum. Thompson says, 'The best noodles to use are the somewhat flat egg noodles, about 1/2-centimetre (1/4-inch) wide. Deep fry a few of them in very hot, clean oil to use as a garnish, but be careful -- they splatter as they expand and become crisp.' He also says that beef can be used in place of chicken. Preparation and cooking times are guesses. Recipe #269411 is supposed to be a nice complement to this. -- posted by Leggy Peggy

Tom Yum Gai (Thai Hot & Sour Chicken Soup)

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:16:34 -0500

This is our version of the hot and sour soup, modified to taste as much as possible like the wonderful version we would get at our favorite Thai restaurant, Bahn Na, in Ypsilanti, MI. I've included the modifications (*) that make it vegetarian-friendly. A note about the fish sauce: this can be purchased from any Asian grocery, and I would recommend just about any that come in a glass bottle - they generally taste better. -- posted by Chef #492414

This soup is what my Mom always made for me when I was sick...I called it the Thai version of Chicken Noodle Soup.

The recipe is written how I enjoy it, Hot and Sour -- posted by Sweet Sami

Curried Onion Soup

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:04:53 -0500

"To make this comforting soup a carefree dinner and deepen its rich flavors, we started on the stove and ended in the crock-pot. We have fused the best of two cuisines, French and Thai, into one fantastic soup!" I saw this on a Taste of Thai newsletter and it sounded very interesting - it would be too spicy for the resident's here at the home, so I decided to post here for safekeeping. -- posted by Manami

Ohn-No-Kauk-Swe (Burmese Chicken Soup)

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 01:58:16 -0500

I was lucky to live in Burma for several years in the 1980s. I was even luckier to have Wah Htoo working in my home. She is the best cook of Burmese food I've ever met. Her version of this soup is famous in Rangoon. Once a Burmese guest at our table called Wah Htoo out of the kitchen to tip her -- the only way he knew to convey how impressed he was with her cooking. Of course, I never got that recipe from Wah Htoo. But after many attempts, I think even Wah Htoo would be proud of this effort. This is a mellow, rather than a spicy, recipe. Add plenty of the crushed dried chilies for heat. Note: Burmese chickens get a lot of exercise -- they are tough, but full of flavour. Please use free range, organic chicken thighs if you can get them (a small whole, free-range chicken also works -- cut into 10-12 pieces and with or without skin). Also resist the temptation to play around with this. Trust me, I've played around with it for ages -- trying to get it just right. Finally -- don't let the number of ingredients or steps deter you. This really is easy to make. -- posted by Leggy Peggy

Thai Butternut Squash Soup

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:34:43 -0500

This is my first recipe in Zaar and a variation on a recipe from Lisa Connely (Recipe #38904). I liked the original, but decided to tweak it to improve the Thainess factor and make it both sweeter and hotter at the same time. The result was oh so good, now this is going to be the butternut squash soup for me for ever! The carrots are there mostly for the added colour and mango for the sweetness, but can be substituted with some more sugar if you don't have any at hand. Season with salt and more sugar if you like, it's best when all the flavours are blending equally. You can use milder or hotter chilli depending on your preferences, I go for birdseye. -- posted by konishiko

Northern Thai Khao Soi

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:45:10 -0400

This is a dish commonly eaten in northern Thailand, very similar to Vietnamese Pho;. It is a healthy and fresh soup, full of flavor! This version may be slightly different from other Khao Soi recipes you've seen, but this is how they eat it in the villages in the North. I got the recipe from my mother in law, who has lived in Thailand for over 20 years. Using authentic ingredients really makes a difference, so find an Asian market if at all possible! You will need to serve this in large bowls as it tends to overflow with all the toppings! -- posted by earth_child

Malaysian Laksa

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:18:12 -0400

Laksa is a Malaysian soup made from laksa flavour spicy curry, coconut cream, noodles, prawns/shrimp, chicken and lots of fresh toppings. This recipe is considered to be a cheat version because it uses laksa paste, however the results are still very yummy. You can vary the ingredients in the soup to your own taste. I had trouble finding fish balls and fried tofu puffs in my region so I replace the balls with extra green prawns/shrimp and fried my own tofu (I cut them into 1 cm by 1 cm cubes). This recipe is from SBS's Food Safari and is made by Aryan Mansor -- posted by Chef floWer

Tom Ka Kai (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup)

Mon, 12 May 2008 18:01:55 -0400

This is my husband's all time favorite Thai soup - but up until now, I haven't been able to recreate it at home. I've played around with several versions to come up with this one. The authentic ingredients make a HUGE difference - although you can use substitutions, of course, it does affect the outcome. I have been able to find the galangal root (much preferred over ginger!!), the lemongrass, and the kaffir lime leaves at my local asian market. Yum yum yum, worth the extra shopping trip! -- posted by Gatorbek

Indonesian Carrot Soup

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:57:27 -0400

A flavorful soup with curry powder and coconut milk, this recipe comes from The New England Soup Factory Cookbook (wish I could take credit for it, but I can't!). Although the original recipe calls for vegetable stock (this is a vegetarian soup), I generally use chicken stock because I think it gives it a richer flavor. Adjust spiciness and sweetness by varying amount of hot pepper flakes and honey accordingly. Make sure you use a good quality canned coconut milk -- in my experience, powdered coconut milk isn't a good substitute. I love this as a soup, but it's also great as a sauce/gravy over white rice on its own. Yummy -- and I generally am not fond of really spicy foods. But this yummy and packs just enough of a kick! -- posted by Jakey Bakey

Vegetarian Sinigang (Filipino Tamarind or Sour Soup)

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:46:43 -0400

So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to "full strength" but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice. -- posted by MC Baker

Coconut Lemongrass Vegetable Ecstasy Soup

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:41:52 -0500

Seriously, this Thai-style soup inspires your consumers to vocal joy. I made it for my parents, husband, sister, brother-in-law and their kids. Although my unadventurous dads palate could do without, the remainder (none vegan) LOVED it and moaned happily, reminiscing about the restaurants where theyd had similar soups. Have also made for non-vegan friends, to rave reviews. You are, more than likely, going to need to go to an Asian market for the lemongrass, veggie fish sauce, curry and tamarind pastes. If youve never been, just take your time getting acquainted with the store, and ask for help if you cant find these things. While youre there, you might as well get the basil (Asian-style is different & more potent than Italian-style), coconut milk, soy sauce, ginger and dry shitakes: youll have more choices and likely better prices than your standard grocer. And get some Sriracha hot sauce too. (Plastic bottle, bright orange sauce, green top.) -- posted by Lindsaybean

Big John's Tom Yum Soup

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:35:46 -0500

There are many different soups found in Thailand, made with all types of seafood, poultry and meats. The one thing they all have in common is that intriguing flavor that is simultaneously sour, salty and spicy. Thais call this flavor Yum. Yum is perhaps the most important flavor in Thai cooking. You may recognize the word "Yum" in Thai dishes like Yum Nuea (spicy beef salad) and of course tom yum soup. The ingredients that give us this magical combination are the basics of the Thai kitchen. Salt is rarely used; instead there is fish sauce (nam pla), a liquid made from salted fermented fish. It doesn't sound very appetizing, but it is indispensable in Thai cooking. -- posted by Big John

Quick and Easy Tom Kha Gai

Tue, 12 May 2009 01:15:57 -0400

This is the very traditional recipe, but I've tweaked the quantities to make it much easier to shop for and work with. From start to finish you can have this done in half an hour or so, and the technique really is beginner-level easy. Unfortunately, if you don't live in an area with a Chinese grocery store, ingredient availability will be a problem. The hardest items to find are usually the kha (also called galangal) and the kaffir lime leaves, but if you can't find them PLEASE don't let that stop you; it's still excellent even without them. Everything else listed here is very easy to find, between the Chinese grocery and regular grocery. This is one of the national dishes of Thailand, and is usually found at Thai restaurants, but this recipe is better than ANY I have ever had in a restaurant. I can't claim any credit though; I'm just passing along a very good recipe. WARNING: this soup is totally addictive! -- posted by lolsuz

Thai Butternut Squash and Corn Bisque

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:02:54 -0500

Ready to shake up the Thanksgiving standards? This is a great way to do it: posted in Barbara Fisher's blog, Tigers and Strawberries (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/). The flavors of this soup are amazingit is somewhere between the tangy-spicy herbal flavor of Tom Kha Gai and the best butternut squash or sweet potato soup you have ever had with a little Thai curry mixed in for fun. It is spicy, sweet, tangy and rich all at the same time without being heavy or overly filling. And it's vegan. How can it be velvety smooth without much in the way of rich coconut milk and absolutely no cream? It was the addition of the potato that does it. This is a trick she learned when she was cooking for vegan clients as a personal chef. A good creamy boiling potato like a Red Bliss or Yukon Gold will thicken soups and make them velvety smooth if they are pureed, all without adding fat or any dairy products at all. -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79

Pressure Cooker Vietnamese Pho Bo

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:47:47 -0500

Vietnamese has to be my favourite cuisine -- and I am always looking for great Pho, this wonderful beef broth eaten with rice noodles. I had searched and searched for an easy at home recipe but it should really brew for hours!! One day, I was watching Alton Brown make beef stock on TV using a pressure cooker - and voila! This recipe was born - and believe me it tastes just like the real thing! -- posted by Sunshine_Celine

Vietnamese Noodle Soup

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:54:59 -0500

I got this recipe out of Curves magazine. It turned out so good, I made it again 2 nights later. I made it a little different than the recipe below. I knew we wouldn't be able to find the star anise in our grocery store, so I asked my husband to pick up a bulb a fennel (same flavor pretty much). What he thought was fennel was actually nappa cabbage. So, I threw a few leaves of that in there instead. -- posted by shelshel0110

Spicy Prawn Soup

Right now, the temperature is 49 degrees & I live in South Florida. The compressor for the heat on the first floor of the nursing home is broken, can you imagine? We don't even have clothes for this weather -- I think I'll spend some more time in my room in my flannel granny gowns - that my daughter insisted I have! So I found this recipe this morning, we made it and it's great! ;) A quick and spicy wok-based soup means one pan, zero fuss and supper's on the table in 20 minutes. Good Food Magazine, November 2007 edition.:) If you can't find a can of coconut milk, use a block of creamed coconut or a carton of coconut cream, diluted as instructed. -- posted by Manami

Thai Galangal Chicken Soup ( Tom Ka Gai)

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:49:25 -0500

This recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law but origanally from an Australian Women's Weekly cookbook/magazine. The coconut milk tames the spices, making this a smooth and subtle soup. You can use chicjen breast if you prefer them to the chicken thigh meat.. This recipe is gluten-free if you use a purchased or home-made stock that is gf suitable and a gf fish sauce. The whole coriander/cilantro is used in this soup- the roots and stem in the soup base and then the leaves before serving -- posted by **Jubes**

Chicken Khao Soi Noodles

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:17 -0500

A spicy Northern Thai/Burmese favourite featuring curry made with fresh curry paste, chicken drummettes and noodles. Extremely tasty! Don't be put off by the massive list of ingredients, it isn't that time-consuming to make, but you will need to make a special trip to an Asian grocer to be sure you have the right things! -- posted by becy
