You could also add chicken which is called Tom Ka Gai.
There are a lot of different recipes on line. This is how I made mine:
To make the broth I used:
1 quart chicken stock
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, diced
2 tablespoons lemongrass, chopped
I added the ginger and lemongrass to the stock and heated just to boiling. I let the ginger and lemongrass steep in the hot stock for about 1/2 hour and then added:
1 14 oz. can coconut milk
Juice of two limes
4 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha (to taste or optional)
(If you think the soup is too sour, you can add a little (1 Tbl.) brown sugar to balance it.)
These are the vegetables I used for my bowl of soup.
I was feeling like (lucky) sevens would be good for me so I used 7 pea pods, 7 green beans, 7 pieces of raw zucchini, 7 slices of onion, 7 pieces of baby corn, 4 cremini mushrooms (cut into 7 slices), a few broccoli florets, 7 slivers of ginger root, 7 carrot flowers, and some cilantro leaves.
