Crockpot Tom Kha Yum Soup

Crockpot Tom Kha Yum Soup | Plaid and PaleoThai lovers might be wondering why this soup is orange instead of white. Well when I lived in Los Angeles my favorite Thai restaurant’s tom kha yum soup was orange. Also they called it tom kha yum soup instead of tom kha gai. I’ve been trying desperately to recreate this soup because honestly I miss it so much. I miss Los Angeles a lot but I really miss the food. I had my favorite places and favorite dishes. This tom kha yum soup was my absolute favorite soup. If I was feeling sick or just wanting comfort food, I ordered this soup. Pre-paleo a huge helping of pad see yew accompanied the soup. If you didn’t know already, I am slightly obsessed with cooking food in my crockpot. You literally throw almost all the ingredients in the crockpot and just let it cook. The red curry paste really makes this soup because it has lemongrass and galanga in it!

I want to apologize to anyone who comments on my Instagram pictures. I have been the worst lately at responding in a timely manner, and I feel awful! I love getting comments. Seriously love it! I feel so bad when I don’t respond quickly. I promise I am working on being better. These last few weeks have just been crazy. I am finally moving into my new apartment! Yea! I am also working on The Eighty Twenty’s new e-magazine, which will be out in January. My mind has just been all over the place and I am working on being more focused. That being said keep on commenting. It makes me day!

    I’ve never had this type of soup but it sounds delicious! Perfect as the weather cools down 🙂

      Exactly!

    Ooh. This looks tasty, and like the perfect compliment to some paleo shrimp dumplings I’ve been wanting to make. Just needed an Asian soup to make it a complete meal. I can’t just eat shrimp dumpling for dinner…can I? 😉

      Oo I think the combo of shrimp dumplings and this soup sounds amazing! Can’t lie I could probably eat just dumplings for dinner.

    YUM! I always assumed that this was more difficult to make. This is my favorite soup when I am feeling under-the-weather, so I am going to make this and freeze a portion for those times. Thanks!

    Should this recipe be cooked on high for 5 to 6 hours? That was the only part I found unclear. Thanks!

    • vanessa says

      December 8, 2014 at 1:20 pm

      Sorry about that. It should be cooked on low.

    Try this with fresh cut Roma Tomatoes (instead of canned) and a tablespoon (or 2) of Coconut Sugar – Tom Ka Yum Wow! 😉

      Oo I love the use of fresh tomatoes! I’m so glad you liked it!!

    what brand red curry paste? I love the taste of lemongrass and galanga in Tom kha!

    I’ve made this a couple times and loved it. I’m thinking of adding some noodles this time, but I’m I sure what kind would go well with it, any suggestions?

    • vanessa says

      November 19, 2015 at 6:41 pm

      I think you could add zoodles, but sweet potato noodles (found in Asian markets) or rice boodles (if you eat rice) would be good options!

    Do you precook the chicken tenders or put them in raw?

    • vanessa says

      January 19, 2016 at 2:31 pm

      I put them in raw.
