- 4 slices of ginger
- 1 lemongrass stalk
- 1 cup vegan fish sauce
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped celery
- 12 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup mushrooms

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Add ginger and lemongrass to a large pot with water filled about halfway.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil and then add vegan fish sauce.
Step 3
Add chopped carrots and celery and bring back to a boil on high for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Add 12 cups of jasmine rice, stirring the pot occasionally to keep the rice from burning on the bottom. The starch from the rice will help thicken the broth.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, the broth will thicken. Continue to stir occasionally.
Step 6
Add the mushrooms.
Step 7
Make garlic oil by frying minced garlic with vegetable oil.
Step 8
Pour the garlic oil into the soup, and then the soup is ready! Add your favorite condiments too.
