Vegan Tom Kha Gai

Soup season is upon us, and there’s no soup that says fall to me more than a nice, spicy tom kha. Like pad thai, it can be challenging to find a vegan version while eating out as many contain chicken broth, shrimp, and/or fish sauce. This vegan version is spicy, a little sour, and delicious af. This is how we made it:

Ingredients:

2 cans (14 oz.) coconut milk

4 cups veggie broth

2 inch piece of ginger, peeled

2-4 thai chillies, or ½ tsp red pepper flakes

1 stalk fresh lemongrass

2 tbsp No-Fish Sauce

1 lb mushrooms, quartered

1 tomato, diced

1 bunch bok choy, chopped

1 block firm tofu cubed

1 lime, juiced

½ tsp salt

½ bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

In a large pot, bring coconut milk and veggie broth to a boil. Add the ginger, chillies, and lemongrass and reduce heat to a simmer.

Stir in No-Fish sauce, mushrooms, lime juice, chili paste, bok choy, and tofu and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the lime, salt, and cilantro, and adjust seasoning.

I like mine served over brown rice.
