Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth or water

- 3 slices lemongrass about 2 inches long
- 1 cup button mushrooms sliced
- 2 Tbsps light soy sauce

- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tomato diced
- ½ onion diced
- ½ cup tofu cubed

Instructions
- In a mortar and pestle, add lemongrass, peppers, ginger or galangal. Crush them so they will release their flavors.

- Once boiling, add the bay or lime leaves, mushrooms, vegan fish sauce, light soy sauce, lime juice, tomato, onions, coconut milk, and tofu.
