LAOTIAN FISH SOUP (KANG SOM PA)



Laotian Fish Soup (Kang Som Pa) image

The original recipe called for a whole freshwater fish, cleaned and cut into pieces, but tilapia filets are easier. Spring onions are not the same as scallions or green onions. They have a round "bulb" about 1 inch across.

LAOTIAN CHICKEN & RICE SOUP



Laotian Chicken & Rice Soup image

My hubby used to eat this soup when he was there and it was a hit. Now I sometimes substitute or add fresh mushrooms. Either is great. Photos are of the soup with the chicken and mushrooms and then the second photo is the same soup with rice. Young children may find this too spicy. For those that cannot have milk, this fits the menu. I have used minced white onion and dried cilantro in place of spring onions.
