“Who’s Tom Kha?” you ask? He’s your new finest good friend on the Thai restaurant. You’ll discover this soup at each Thai restaurant in America, and it’s scrumptious. It’s zingy and just a little creamy and just a little bitter. That is most likely the primary time it’s been printed with elk meat, however that’s solely as a result of they don’t have elk in Thailand.
It’s sometimes served with thinly sliced rooster breast meat, nevertheless it’d be wonderful with wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, dove, pigeon, or wild boar. Simmering takes some time, however the lively cooking time is ten or fifteen minutes.
I make an enormous batch and may the leftovers, however you might freeze it, too. Heat it on the camp range on a wet hunt day or within the microwave if you’ve obtained a chilly — add just a little cayenne, and clear your sinuses with its cozy creaminess.
One secret’s to make use of about the identical quantity of bone broth and coconut milk, however extra broth is healthier than extra coconut milk.

Prep Your Elk Soup
Preheat your dutch oven or different giant pot. This matches in a 10-qt Dutch oven. Begin by searing one facet of your elk meat till it’s brown; when you use poultry, you’ll be able to skip this step. If you wish to use two pans, you might sear the meat in a separate pan whereas the soup simmers. Take away the meat from and put aside.
Sauté Veggies

Add the bone broth and the coconut milk and mix all of it collectively. Convey it to a simmer, then scale back the warmth and simmer lined for half-hour — ensure that it doesn’t boil over.
Use a strainer or slotted spoon to take away all of the onion and garlic bits. Their taste is within the soup, and also you don’t want the limp strings. Convey the soup again to a vigorous simmer and add the meat. Prepare dinner for a couple of minutes till the meat is finished, then add the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
The fish sauce is for saltiness, and the lime and sugar will improve the coconut flavors. Add extra to style. Add the mushrooms and inexperienced onions final, and don’t overcook them — two minutes, then scale back the warmth.
