Tom kha kai (ต้มข่าไก่) literally means “chicken galangal soup”. This soup is made with coconut milk, galangal (a type of ginger), lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, and chicken, and often contains straw, shiitake, or other mushrooms, as well as coriander leaves. There are other versions of this soup made with seafood (tom kha thale), mushrooms (tom kha het), pork (tom kha mu) and tofu (tom kha taohu). (Wikipedia)
