This Tom Kha Tofu is a vegan twist on the classic Thai soup, where "Tom Kha" translates to "boiling galangal," highlighting the bold, aromatic flavours that define the dish. A rich, creamy coconut base is balanced with tangy lime and a subtle kick of heat, resulting in a beautifully fragrant and flavourful soup that's enjoyed alongside rice.

Can I substitute the lime leaves with something? I don't think I'll be able to find it where I live

Heyy Hanni, thanks for your interest in this one! You could make the soup without them 🤗 Kaffir lime leaves add a distinct citrusy aroma, although if you can’t find them, adding a bit of extra lime zest and juice will help bring some brightness to the broth. The flavour won’t be exactly the same, but it’ll still be super delicious! Let us know if you experiment with any swaps 🫶

One of, if not the most delicious soups I’ve ever made! Especially with a drizzle of chili oil to top it off at the end. Thanks PUL!

Just made this recipe and I am blown away by how easy, quick, and delicious it is! Sure, I had to go out of my way to gather all the ingredients (or close enough approximations), but it was totally worth it. Can't wait for dinner so that I can have the leftovers😅

Woohoo! It means so much that the recipe was enjoyed, Firebolt, especially after getting the ingredients 🥰
