There’s nothing better than warming your body (and soul) on a chilly, winter day than with a bowl of comforting soup. For this Foodie Friday, we’re shaking things up (don’t worry, we’ve never led you astray) with a spotlight on the Tom Kha soup from L’Thai Organic Thai Cuisine & Wine Bar! While not located inside of Gwinnett, their Tucker location is just a quick drive and completely worth it!
If you’ve never tried this delicious Thai soup before, get ready for Tom Kha to quickly become your new soup fixation. The base of this creamy dish is made from coconut milk, galangal (think of it as a cousin of the aromatic ginger), lemongrass and lime leaves. These ingredients come together to create a rich and creamy broth that has the perfect balance of tang and sour notes. It’s truly addicting and packed full of veggies, including mushrooms, carrots, tomato, zucchini and squash.
You can also add natural chicken at no additional cost, along with organic tofu or more organic mixed veggies. We recommend following wherever your heart takes you because there’s truly no wrong way to order your Tom Kha soup! As a final touch, you get to determine the spice level you’d like from as is to Thai Very Hot. We recommend ordering it as an appetizer for your meal (because trust us, you don’t want to miss out on this delicious coconut soup).
What makes this Thai spot gain extra DiG shovel points (our version of brownie points) is that they are gluten-free friendly! Their Tom Kha soup, along with other traditional dishes, is marked with a gf label so you or your celiac friend can rest assured that you’ll have a safe dining experience. So, the next time you’re craving something truly comforting, stop by L’Thai Organic Thai Cuisine & Wine Bar and give their Tom Kha soup a try!
