Recipe: Tom Kha Gai (Thai Soup)

Made this today. I was surprised by how similar it was to the tom kha gai I get in Thai restaurants. Not exactly, but gratifyingly close! It's adapted from a Cook's Illustrated recipe.

This can be made with chicken, with shrimp, or, for vegetarians, with extra mushrooms or tofu.

Roast beast! I made this yesterday with a bottom round roast (not one of the best roast beef cuts, but cheap and plenty good). Eye round, chuck eye, or top round also work nicely. This isn't how you'd want to cook a really good roast -- like a prime rib, or tenderloin -- but for your average for-dinner grocery store cut, it's quite nice.

...This isn't even a recipe, it's so simple. If you like the Old Spaghetti Factory dish of the same name.... well, it's really easy to make. And fast.
