Thai inspired coconut mushroom miso soup

Thai inspired coconut mushroom soup 

Have u ever made something so good you had to question if it was really you who made it? This is exactly how I feel about this creamy coconut mushroom soup. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and all vegan! 


I was disappointed to find out that my favorite soup at a restaurant I liked going to contained oyster sauce and yes I’m of those strict vegans who will not dare to have it if it’s not fully vegan. I decided to recreate a similar version of that same soup but using more simple and all plant based ingredients including seaweed. This soup is a 10/10! So I knew I had to share. Ready in under 20 minutes! Let's get to the ingredients of this 10/10 soup! 


Ingredients:


Coconut cream or full fat coconut milk: Coconut cream is what makes this coconut soup so ridiculously creamy without the dairy or heavy cream! You can sub for full fat coconut milk instead if you want a lighter soup but your soup will be less creamy. 


Mushrooms: I like to use either organic cremini, baby Bella mushrooms or portobello mushrooms.


Onions 


Vegetable Broth: Vegetable broth is basically salted water. 


Spices


Seaweed- I like to use seaweed packets because they are easily accessible. They are nutrient rich in vitamins/ minerals and have a good amount of iodine.


Tofu: I'm using firm tofu because I am coating mine in corn starch to make it nice and crispy. You can use any type of tofu for this recipe. If you want to fry your tofu to make it nice and crispy I suggest using either firm or extra firm.  


Miso: Miso is salty, earthy, and tangy thanks to its lengthy fermentation process. 


Vegan Worcestershire sauce: This sauce has a powerful umami flavor. It's sour, sweet, and slightly spicy.


Soy sauce


Instructions:

Grab 3/4 cup of firm tofu and chop into cubes. Place into a bowl. Make sure the tofu is dry before mixing it with 2 tbsp of cornstarch. Optional: add 1 tsp nutritional yeast & 1/4 tsp of black salt for more flavor.  



Pan fry the tofu on medium heat for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. 



In a large pot heat the oil over low to medium heat. Sauté the onions until they are translucent (not browned). Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until they have softened. 



Add diced tomatoes, curry powder, soy sauce, vegan worcester sauce, cayenne pepper and mix. Give it 2 minutes. 



Add a cup and a half of vegetable broth along with a can of full fat coconut milk. Put on high heat and let the soup come to a boil. 




Once the soup starts to boil reduce to medium heat/ low heat and add in your seaweed, tofu and miso paste. 





Give it a good 10 minutes so that the mushrooms are soft and cooked through. Add 1/4 tsp of salt or to taste. Add in more vegetable broth if you think you're soup is too creamy.

Enjoy hot!
