This is my vegan version of a Thai chicken soup called Tom Kha Gai. I made mine mild, but you can add a little chili oil to spice yours up a bit. There are a few specialty ingredients in this soup, so you will need to find an Asian market where they will be inexpensive. Tamarind concentrate adds a tang, and the kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal root are the heart of this aromatic soup. Trust me, it’s worth a trip to the market, and it comes together fast once you have the ingredients.
BEFORE SERVING INGREDIENTS
the night before: Shred the jackfruit. Cut the mushrooms, lemongrass, and galangal. Store in the fridge overnight.
in the morning: Add the shredded jackfruit, mushrooms, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, water, tamarind, sugar, and soy sauce to your slow cooker. Cook on low 7 to 9 hours.

This loaf was inspired by Vegan Lunch Box’s Magical Loaf Studio website. I combined about four recipes and added a few things on top of that. You can add almost anything you have on hand, so it’s a great way to use up leftovers!
