  • Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1- inch piece ginger minced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion is slightly softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the sliced carrots, shredded cabbage, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Stir-fry the vegetables for another 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly and release their flavors.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock or water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the leafy greens, soy sauce, miso, and optional sriracha or red chili flakes. Stir well to combine and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.
  • If using tofu, gently fold in the cubed tofu and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional spices if desired.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then stir it into the soup and cook for a few more minutes until thickened.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional leafy greens or sliced chili if desired, and enjoy with your choice of noodles.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When preparing this Asian Vegetable Soup, feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on the season or what you have at home.
  • You can also switch up the flavor profile by adding herbs like cilantro or green onions on top for a fresh finish. For a heartier version, consider adding cooked noodles directly into the soup before serving.
  • Remember to taste and adjust the seasoning as you go for the best results!
