This yummy cabbage miso soup is very quick and simple, yet impressive in flavor. Miso paste is the ultimate flavor booster ingredient here and it pairs so well with crunchy nutrient-dense cabbage. Great as an appetizer or main meal, especially if served with ramen noodles. 100% vegan and healthy recipe.

Ingredients

5 cups vegetable broth
3 large cloves of garlic finely sliced
3 cups green or napa cabbage thinly sliced
2 medium size carrots thinly sliced or shredded
¼ cup miso paste white or red

To serve (choose your favorite, optional)

green onion
cilantro
cooked ramen or soba noodles
soy sauce
sriracha
silken tofu

Instructions

Pour the vegetable broth to a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Then, add the garlic, cabbage and carrots, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
While the soup is simmering, dissolve the miso paste in a small amount of warm broth in a bowl.
Once the soup is done simmering, take the pot away from the heat and pour the miso sauce over. Stir to combine and taste to adjust seasoning. You can also add soy sauce to taste if desired.
Serve warm with cubed silken tofu, sliced green onion and cilantro, if desired. To make this soup more filling, pour over cooked soba or ramen noodles in a bowl.

Notes

Store leftovers in an air-tight container for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove.
I highly recommend not to simply add the miso paste to the soup without first whisking it in a smaller amount of broth. It simply dissolves better that way. Also, do not boil the soup once the miso paste was added as it can kill the healthy probiotics from the miso.
Feel free to add more veggies such as mushrooms, white onion, red pepper or kale. Roast them in the pot first before pouring the broth if needed.
