**FIRST OFF** This is a MOCK version of true Tom Ka Gai soup. However...the taste is very close to the real deal WITHOUT needing "hard to find" ingredients. We loved the ease of the recipe. My changes: omit the turmeric - it made the soup sooo bright yellow! I almost doubled the lime juice. I put in the required amount and then floated a few thick lime slices on top while it simmered. I removed those before serving it. I probably doubled the coriander. I put some in while it simmered, and put more in just before serving. Instead of water I used chicken stock to round out the flavour. I added just enough sugar to sweeten it just a little . I’ve had this soup served both ways ( slightly sweet, and no sugar at all). We prefer it slightly sweet. The soup was EXCELLENT. Do yourself a favour...and DO NOT SMELL THE FISH SAUCE. It's PUTRID AND DISGUSTING! However... once mixed with the other ingredients something magical happens and it was beyond wonderful when all the flavours mingled! I like to put a small scoop of white rice into a bowl and add the soup over that. Will definitely make this again for guests!
