Tom Kha soup

A Thai soup made from coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, chicken, mushroom, and some lime juice. Very nice stuff. Recipe has been posted to my chef blog.

Notes: This was hell to set up without using any props like they do in typical food photography. The chicken, chillies, etc. just keep sinking to the bottom of the bowl. A metal soup spoon, stuck sneakily at the bottom of the bowl, was used to push some of the ingredients up. The joys of shooting with real food... :)
