Chicken Galangal with Fresh Coconut Soup

We love to make Chicken Galangal with Fresh Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Kai) for the parties. It’s made with coconut milk, galangal, lemon grass and chicken. The fried chillies add a smoky flavor as well as texture, color and heat, but not so much that it overwhelms the soup. The key is to get a taste balance between the spices. I adapted this from my favorite Thai dishes. It’s easier than you think!
