Hot & Sour Coconut Prawn & Pineapple Soup

Tom yum goong (hot and sour soup) and tom kha gai (chicken, coconut and galangal) are both legendary Thai soups and it was tortuous to decide which to feature in this book. But after slurping down the best bowl ever in a street stall in Bangkok I realised I could have both. Basically, this is tom yum with coconut cream: the best of both worlds. If you want to bulk this out into a meal on its own, add some rice or noodles.
