Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 ounces sliced mushroom -- 1 package
8 shiitake mushroom -- fresh, stems removed and caps sliced
8 ounces bamboo shoots -- (1 can) rinsed and drained, julienned
4 garlic clove -- minced
15 ounces firm tofu -- 1 package, or silken, cubed
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger -- divided
4 cups water
2 tablespoons vegan chicken-flavored bouillon -- or 4 Tablespoons Chickeny Bouillon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil -- plus extra for drizzling
1 teaspoon chili paste
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar -- or apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups peas -- fresh or frozen

The Night Before: store the cut-up mushrooms, bamboo shoots, garlic and tofu in an airtight container in the fridge. Store the prepared ginger in another airtight container in the fridge.

In the Morning: combine the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, garlic, tofu, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, water, bouillon, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, and vinegar in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours.

A few minutes before serving, add the peas and the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and stir to combine. Taste the broth and add more vinegar or chili if needed. Drizzle a few drops of sesame oil on top of each serving. If you like it milder and your friends like it hot, serve the chili paste on the side.

Yield: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 6 to 8 hours

AuthorNote: It's hard to find vegan soups at Chinese takeouts in most areas. This is the perfect cold and flur season. It clears those sinuses right up! You can adjust the amount of spice until it's just right for you.
