PhoMazing Soup! Seems strange for breakfast, but I had to listen to my body ~ when I’d lay down to sleep, there goes that little dry cough, just enough to keep me from getting a good night’s sleep.
My Pho will open your sinuses, so grab a box of tissues!
This recipe was PhooooooMazing I wanted to share it with you. Although hoisin/sriracha is traditionally used in Pho, they contain preservatives, and some artificial ingredients.   This recipe is all vegan, preservatives-free.
This soup is so addicting …💕

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 green onions, diced
2 tbsp ginger, grated
32 ounces vegetable broth
1 – 2 celery stalks, diced
1 jalapeno, sliced (remove seeds, if desired to reduce heat)*
2 – 4-inch piece Kombu (seaweed)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 package mushrooms, diced (your choice of variety)
2 tbsp Tamari
½ teaspoon sea salt
A handful of bean sprout (optional)
Bunch of bok choy, rough chopped, core discarded
2 tbsp white miso paste (chickpea or organic soy)
1 packet of rice noodles or Lotus Foods Organic Rice Ramen Noodles, Jade Pearl Rice
Garnish with sliced jalapeno – lime wedge, squeeze juice into individual bowls – top with minced basil, mint, cilantro, use as much as you desire.

DIRECTIONS

In a large pot, add sesame oil and sauté green onions, ginger, and celery for 3 – 5 minutes, then add mushrooms and continue to sauté an additional 2 – 3 minutes.  Add broth, Tamari, sea salt, Kombu, and bok choy, bring to a full boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

While the soup is boiling, start the rice noodles as per the package instructions.

Remove ½ cup liquid from soup pot and place in a small bowl, allow to cool. Whisk in miso paste; set aside. After the Pho is done cooking, add the miso to the soup pot and give it a little whirl.
Also, remove Kombu, mince and add it back to the soup pot.
Ladle some rice noodles to your bowl, and top with soup. Garnish with all the fix’ens you desire; go wild!

Don’t like mushrooms?  Feel free to swap out any vegetable with your favorite!  YUM-YUM!

*Want more spice?  I love adding sliced fresh red chili peppers!
