Thai Rice Soup Recipe (Khao Tom Gung)

Share This Recipe

Rice soup works great at any time of the day, however it is especially good for breakfast, or when you are feeling under the weather. We are using shrimp in this recipe, however you could just make rice soup on its own, or substitute the shrimp with pork or chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up left over rice, and you should ideally use steamed rice that has been left to cool and is at least 1 day old.

The flavour of this dish is simple and mild, and its very filling and satisfying!
