Today, after a long time I am finally having a planned dinner party with my friends. (around 8 people) Since it has been a while since we have had one of these I want to make a filling and hearty meal with a traditional twist. At first, I thought of just making some salad and sandwiches but I wanted to aim a little higher so instead I am making this ample meal. Kahu Suey is originally a burmese dish but with a few twists and turns it can be turned into a traditional yet modern thai dish. (don’t worry, it isn’t spicy unless you want it to be) #nonspicythai #notspicythai #soupswithatwist However, I must warn you this dish does take some time to make so make sure you can spare that and if you can let’s get started. #ihavealotofsparetime Servings: 8 Difficulty: 3/5 First things first, you have to know that we have to build two different things. Fist is the tomato puree and the second is the soup. First off, let’s start making the puree.
