Excellent! I substituted a thinly sliced Jalapeno pepper for part of the red pepper, added another chicken breast, and a squeeze of lime. Will definitely be making this again soon.

Outstanding! Exotic & unique flavor! I omitted the fish sauce (unable to find any), and had to use dried lemongrass from a spice jar because I couldn't find fresh (I live in a semi-rural area). Per previous comments, I substituted chicken broth for the water and reduced the red pepper by half. It was still quite tangy, so next time I'll probably reduce the red pepper further. I added a little extra bok choy and cilantro. Thanks for the recipe!!

GORGEOUS! My girlfriend and I are big Thai fans and adore a good bowl of Tom Ka Gai. I made this for her as a surprise one day (I'm a novice in the kitchen) and it turned out to be the best we've had. I added shrimp as well. It was surprisingly easy to make, yet my girlfriend now thinks I'm talented in the kitchen. Teally, the hardest part was shopping for the ingredients since fresh lemon grass and fish sauce aren't readily available at your average market. If you're not a spicy fan, make sure and add the red pepper to taste.

I had to doctor this up quite a bit. I added 1 medium sized Lemon squeezed for some more tang and some ground red pepper to turn up the heat.

This soup was wonderful and every bit as good as the kind I get at the Thai restaurants. I might add more chicken and sub in chicken broth for the water. Yummy!

It's a great soup which can be made in a jiffy. I am a chef in a hotel and I served it to the guests, it was an instant success

This recipe is excellent. My boyfriend and I had this soup on our first date at a Thai restaurant. Then I found this recipe - we made it together at home and liked it even better. You may want to cut the red pepper flakes to half the amount if you don't like it too hot. Sometimes we add large cooked shrimp which is awesome. Everyone wanted the recipe at our last dinner party!
