tom kha soup

 

Thai cuisine is probably one of the most enjoyed cuisines by people around the world. Known for their fresh, aromatic flavours, and slightly spicy dishes. As the saying goes “we eat with our eyes”, emphasising the importance of aroma, texture, colour and detail in food, which Thai cooking definitely celebrates. Tom Kha soup is essentially Tom Yum soup with the addition of coconut milk. It has a spicy and sour flavour, which is balanced out perfectly with coconut milk. This dish uses tofu as the main source of protein, while the traditional Tom Yum uses prawns, but as you’ll soon find out, this dish can still pack a punch without them.

What nutrients are in this dish?

This dish is wonderful in the cooler months as it is packed full of garlic, onion and chilli, which are commonly known to boost immunity. Cherry tomatoes, lime and galangal, are rich sources of vitamin C, further enhancing the immune-boosting effects.

Organic tofu is a great source of plant-based protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It is also full of minerals including calcium, iron, selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and vitamin B1.

Mushrooms are high in Vitamin D and B vitamins, which are also beneficial for the immune system.

Bok Choy is abundant in calcium, which is great for supporting the musculoskeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems.
