thai chicken & potato soup
My wife and niece make this soup often, and it is delicious! I was intrigued when I first saw this made as I have rarely seen Thais use potatoes. This is an easy basic non-spicy soup made with fresh and common ingredients. This is normally served with rice on the side but can certainly be enjoyed as is.
