Vegan Baby Bok Choy Mushroom Soup with Tofu

If you’re looking for a simple and quick to cook recipe, this soup is it. Not only is it vegan, but this baby bok choy mushroom soup is also gluten-free as well. The best thing is, it just tastes super with a just-right combination of everything.

To make this truly vegan and gluten-free, tamari soy sauce is used to avoid extra gluten. Also since baby bok choy carried natural sweetness, there’s no need to add any extra sugar. Beside, tamari soy sauce gives the soup its nice brown caramelized color.

On the spice side, star anise was added to enhance the flavor while providing anti-flu properties. Then there’s tofu for a protein supplement and glass noodle to help you fully. Glass noodles were chosen because they are wheat-free (look at the label) and don’t require as much pre-cooking/rinsing. However, you can also use ramen, rice vermicelli, just beware that some might contains wheat or egg.
