I made this soup and it made a lot seemed way to thick so I added chicken vegan broth. It is also very bland needs seasonings added. The recipe said minced cauliflower which I thought was basically riced cauliflower. I now see in the picture flowered cauliflower. That seems a bit misleading.. What spices do you recommend?
I made this for the first time using white tepary beans (from Ramona Farms) sometime in November. I didn’t have a parsnip so I used a few small carrots. It was absolutely delicious and the carrots turned the soup such a pretty pastel orange color…. perfect for autumn! I had to giggle at it bc it was so pretty. I have made it since and will continue to make it and still use the carrots. One other thing, as a previous poster suggested, I wouldn’t boil the miso. This soup is delicious and filling and worth making again.
This recipe includes all of my favorite things…. except for any spices! It’s a little bland. Any recommendations for making it a little more flavorful?
Haven’t made it yet, but will. With one change – I will not boil miso. Instead, after the end of step 2, will dissolve miso in some of the hot soup, blemd in, and serve.
I don’t eat any soy products; what can I substitute for miso paste?
There is a chickpea miso out there.
There is a version of miso made with chickpeas. BTW, unless you have a soy allergy and despite the negative press, there are plenty of protective reasons to consume them… https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/soy/
