Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the broth baseIn a large pot, combine coconut milk and vegetable broth over medium heat. Add galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Add the aromaticsAdd sliced Thai chilies and mushrooms to the broth. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender but still maintain their texture.
-
Incorporate the tofuGently add the cubed silken tofu and red bell pepper to the soup. Cook for another 5 minutes, being careful not to stir too vigorously as silken tofu is delicate and can break apart easily.
-
Season the soupAdd lime juice, soy sauce, and palm sugar. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed - the soup should have a perfect balance of sour, salty, and slightly sweet flavors.
-
Remove inedible aromaticsRemove the galangal slices, lemongrass pieces, and kaffir lime leaves from the soup. These were used for flavor but are not meant to be eaten.
-
Garnish and serveTurn off the heat and stir in half of the cilantro. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with remaining cilantro and green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
