Every one loves a good Thai soup and it’s hard to beat Poul’s version of Tom Kha Kai. This is as good as any I have had anywhere and it makes a great change to French cuisine.
Funnily enough it is probably too spicy for French tastes which explains the shortage of Thai restaurants around us in Brittany!
