Tom Kha Paste (Soup), 14 oz

This is so, so, so good. If you like Tom Kha but don't know how to make it from scratch and can't afford to eat out all the time, this little gem is for you. Take care with it as it's a little salty - so don't add salted meats or veggies to the mix, as the paste will take care of the salt for you. That said, the taste is out of this world. I love to mix this with thicker rice noodles for a yummy noodle soup. Priced right and stores well in the fridge. A+++

Ever since my husband lived and worked in Thailand a long time ago, we are hooked to eating Tom Kha Gai soup, whether it is at a Thai restaurant or at home. We usually make the soup from scratch with all the needed and available ingredients and seasonings. Since we moved away from DC to a rural area up north, I don't have an Asian grocery market anywhere near, so I order online what I can't find in supermarkets. This Tom Kha Gai paste has made all the difference! Now we do not need to keep all the various seasoning handy, we have found the perfect way to make Tom Kha Gai at home with less effort but great results. The taste, the scent, the overall outcome when using this product is phenomenal. Tweaking is easy either with more or less paste or however one wants to make little changes. For 2 people, we get several dishes out of one tub, so the value for the money is fantastic. We recently traveled to see family in Texas and took 2 tubs with us, so we could cook Tom Kha Gai for everyone and show them how great this product is and how easy it is to use. Perfect!!! Highly recommended.

Wonderful, absolutely delicious soup base. Tastes better than from your local takeout, I use low sodium chicken broth as the base and then add low calorie coconut milk, a cube of frozen ginger and a quarter teaspoon ginger powder, some frozen stir-fry vegetable medley, some frozen chopped onion, cilantro, chopped celery, a finely diced jalapeno, a half teaspoon of fish sauce, and a whole lime that I squeeze and add to the soup to cook, removing the halves after cooking. The first time I added a whole can of chopped clams with their broth and I adored it. Second time I cut up some boneless and skinless chicken thighs. I slightly thickened it at the end with a little corn starch. Absolutely delicious both times!

Fantastic product, need very little to create a great depth of flavor. I use coconut milk with a little water, add onion and dried ramen toppings. Plus shrimp that I cook in the soup. Takes less than 10 mins and is delicious, with just a hint of spice. A whole lot cheaper and quicker than take out.

Exactly what I wanted, and stores well in fridge between uses

Brings the best flavor to your soup. I always add fresh or dried lime leaves & lemongrass (all in the paste) but great without it. The fresh adds flavor and make the soup authentic. Work on your own recipe but always start here.

I know I will never be able to make restaurant quality Tom Kha in the middle of Nebraska, but this paste helps me come close. The taste and quality of ingredients was above par. The only problem is that I wasn’t able to use all of it before I had to throw it out. Guess I need to make more next time

I love making Tom Ka soups with half/half coconut milk / water and adding some of this paste + veggies or whatever. Quick, easy, delicious!
