Vegan Thai Coconut Soup (Vegan Tom Ka Kai)

[@robinrox1]

I worked at an incredibly authentic Thai/Laotian restaurant for a while and this is almost exactly how the chef would make this soup! One of my very favorite dishes.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Yay! This was actually based off of a Paula Deen recipe... Who would have guessed?!

[@ablasco]

This looks sooooo good, and I've always been curious about making this on my own! I'm so glad you made this video & I can't wait to try it on my own!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Make it and then invite me over to try it. Thank you. Also, your dad just messaged me about the recipe on Facebook. He might be making it soon, too.

This came out delicious! Thank you!!! Just a note that on the recipe at the link, onion isn't listed as an ingredient and saw the recipe before the video. So, once I saw the video, I added onion to the soup. Also, you may want to add another lime to the ingredients list, since you mention having wedges for serving. Just minor details. Thanks for suggesting to remove the flavor items from the broth. That's one thing I don't like about some asian soups in restaurants, is sometimes you have to pick things out of your soup or your mouth if not edible like the lemon grass. Keep up the great videos and easy website. This was my first I made from your recipes and looking forward to more. :)

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you Tania! I love that you loved it. I'll fix the recipe right away. Thanks for catching it. I look forward to reading your thoughts on my other recipes!

[@elizabethvanwinkle492]

You should have so many more views! Great recipes, very well shot. Thank you!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you. I wish I did. Some videos just die in the ether. Haha.

I just had Tom Kha soup today from a restaurant and I went to KZbin for a recipe... already love your channel! Nice one

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I appreciate the love. Did you give it a try? I want to know what you thought of the recipe!

[@Janet_Price]

More comfort food - nothing like soup in the fall. It's now in the 70's this week in Sacramento, and fall is here. Time for comfort food....... Janet from Sacramento

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I love soup weather! I've been waiting for months!

[@griversita]

YAY !! amazing, a place near by serves a soup like that and I was looking for a recipe :D THANK YOU!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm so glad I could help! If you try it out, let me know what you thought.

[@lisahooper121]

My fave. Always fun to see how others make this!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Isn't it such a great soup! Thanks for watching.

[@yessss123ful]

One day I had a bad cold that I couldn’t shake, and went into a Thai restaurant and asked if they had a soup that would help the server suggested this I’m so thankful I can have a vegan option.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

It's a perfect soup for when you're not feeling well. Give it a go! I think that this version tastes exactly what I've had at Thai restaurants.

Baby boc choy would rock in this

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I think you're right.

[@susietopspin]

This came out so good but was not white. It's a brown color. I used lite coconut milk and mixed soy sauce and rice vinegar to substitute for the vegan fish sauce. Could these be the reason. It still tasted great but was surprised it wasn't white, like yours?

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the light coconut milk is a lot thinner than full fat, and soy sauce is a lot darker than fish sauce. If could also depend on the broth or stock that you used. As long as it tasted good, that's all that matters.

[@1idontwantausername]

looks AMAZING 😋 💖 I call them, vegehtublz... from time to time as well 😅😆😉😉😊

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Sometimes it just feels right.

[@boelschenlaer]

Thank you 💖 so very much indeed 🙏 for this video 📹! 🎀🙏💖🤖😃😉💫

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I love this soup so much! It hits the spot!

[@Scott65J]

yummm

[@spinningbacksidekick]

Tip: Should put the vegan fish sauce recipe video link in the description. Great video nonetheless.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

If you follow the link to the recipe, it's actually just below the instructions for the soup.

[@khachoe13]

Been on the hunt for a vegan fish sauce. Usually use the golden mountain sauce as suggested by other youtubers but will def have to give your recipe a try. As usual looks so hearty and delicious. Perfect for the fall weather. 🍜🌿👌🙌

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks! The fish sauce is really easy to make. It doesn't taste exactly like fish sauce. but in a recipe like this, it really fills the void very well. Its funky and full of flavor. The recipe makes 2 cups worth, with is a lot. I actually just filled and ice cube tray with the stuff that I had leftover from this recipe so that I can just easily toss it into a dish or soup. If you make it, let me know what you thought of it.

[@vegandemon3259]

You can also use mushroom soy sauce witch i find to have a similar taste to fish sauce. I was shook when i first tasted it lol

[@dillanmonson]

Hey my last names monson. Small world 🌎

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Super small!

[@Tragic.Kingdom]

Are all ur recipes vegan ?!!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Yes. That's the goal, anyway. I'm sure I'm made a mistake or two in the years that I've been making videos.

[@Tragic.Kingdom]

@@MonsonMadeThis I made this with limited ingredients I had. It was delish 😋 . Even ate it with white rice .... Sooo delish !!

[@Blueracebeing]

Try some soy sauce and tamarind paste next time.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks for the tip.

[@auroraseyets8516]

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Haha. I know. When filming, I never know what's going to come out of my mouth.
