this is a wonderful soup when you have a stomach bug or when you are just generally sick. Thai's use this to aid them in curing the flu.

How To Make kao tom ( translated to rice soup)

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil and add the ground pork, stirring to break it up. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the cooked rice. Simmer for 2 minutes. Season with the fish sauce.

Step 2

When you're ready to serve the soup break a whole egg into each individual bowl. Bring the soup to a rolling boil and ladle over the egg. Garnish with the optional ingredients.
Step 3

Cover with lids or plates and let sit for a few minutes to let the eggs poach, then serve.
Step 4

This soup is pretty versatile, you can add already cooked meats and other veggies to it and make it your own.
