Fill large pot with water half to 2/3 full, add 1 box or 4 vegetable soup buillion, boil on med to high heat.

Add carrots, mushrooms, celery, kimchi cabbage (thick white stems first), ginger, tofu, and star seeds to boiling pot. Scoop out suds and rinse suds out in bowl of water. This is to keep broth clear. NOTE: I didn't have the Pho netted packet, so had to improvise. Just remember to scoop out the star seeds before serving.

Boil water in a smaller pot to dip the Pho noodle in using a strainer basket. To serve, put strained pho noodle in bowl, add toppings optional: bean sprouts, basil, sliced jalapeño, samba chilli, lime juice from wedges. Topped with a few scoops from the boiling pho soup. Done.
