This creamy version of Tom Yam Kung is hearty enough to serve as a stand-alone soup course or, as the Thais do it, a main course to be eaten with rice.
Note: kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and nam prik pao (chili jam) can be found at any Asian supermarket specializing in Southeast Asian ingredients.
