### Directions
1. Roughly chop the onion, celery, carrots, yam and apple. Add to a large stock pot along with the ginger and your favorite seasonings. Cover generously with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour, allowing all those lovely flavors to develop into a rich vegetable broth. Strain, return the broth to the pot and keep hot.
2. Prepare the ramen and glass noodles according to package directions. Drain and place in separate serving bowls. A little sesame oil can help keep the noodles from sticking together.
3. While the broth is simmering, prepare your soup bar! Thinly slice the jalapeños, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, sweet pepper and scallions. Wash the bean sprouts, cilantro and basil. Drain and cube the tofu, and cook the Gardein chicken strips according to package directions.
4. Arrange all of your noodles, vegetables, herbs and proteins in individual bowls or platters, just like a salad bar.
5. Let everyone build their own perfect bowl! Start with your choice of noodles, add your favorite vegetables and protein, then ladle piping hot broth over the top. Finish with fresh herbs, scallions and jalapeños to taste.
The beauty of a Soup Bar is that everyone gets exactly what they like, and nobody has to pick mushrooms out of their dinner!
