Calories: 464kcal
Ingredients
- sesame oil optional, to cook the vegetables
- 1 large eggplant diced in 1 inch cubes
- 3.5 oz mushrooms white or shiitake
- 3 cloves of garlic crushed
- 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
- 2-3 green onions plus more, to serve
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp miso paste
To serve (optional)
- vegan ramen or rice noodles cooked
- sesame seeds for topping
- green onions
Instructions
- Warm up a small amount of sesame oil in a medium pot and then, add the eggplant. Cook on medium-high heat stirring often until softer and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Then, add the mushrooms, garlic, ginger and green onions. Stir well and coom for 3-5 more minutes.
- Pour the vegetable broth over and add the soy sauce. Stir, cover and bring to a simmer. Keep simmering for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
- Add the miso paste to a bowl or a mug and then, use a ladle to transfer a small amount of the warm broth over. Use a small whisk or a fork to dissolve the miso and create a smooth mixture. Then, pour the creamy miso into the broth and stir to combine. You can keep warming the soup for a few minutes, but do not simmer anymore at this point.
- Serve over cooked noodles and top with sesame seeds, more green onions and some sriracha sauce for a nice kick. Enjoy!

Notes
- The leftover soup keeps better without the noodles. Store in an air-tight container for 3 days, reheat using the microwave or the stove.
- You can use either white miso (lighter in flavor, shorter fermentation) or red miso paste (stronger flavor, longer fermentation).
- More vegetables to add to this soup includes broccoli, bok choy, leafy geens, carrots, onion or edamame.
