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.
