I don’t know about you, but in our family soup is on the menu at least once or twice a week during fall and winter. This Easy Vegan Miso Soup is warm and comforting with a delicious and savoury ‘umami’ flavour. It’s super simple to make and it goes great with any Asian-style dishes.
We often serve this Easy Vegan Miso Soup for lunch with some gyoza or other dumplings, but it’s also delicious for dinner with a stir-fry and rice, or some noodles.
Ingredients for Easy Vegan Miso Soup
- vegetable stock
- white miso paste
- firm tofu
- seaweed (nori)
- spring onions
How to Make Miso Soup at Home
- Start with high quality stock. If you can find a vegetable stock at an Asian market, that’s the best because it might contain ingredients like ginger and soy. If not, choose the highest quality veggie stock you can find at your local grocery store for the best flavour.
- Choose high quality miso paste. White miso is the best for soups like this because of its mild, sweet flavour, but try to avoid miso with a high sugar content or additives like MSG.
- Use firm tofu. Firm tofu holds its shape in miso soup, so it’s the best choice for slicing and adding to soups like this one.
- Slice your green onions on a bias for presentation. Diagonally sliced green onions are beautiful and they elevate the look of this soup.

Storage instructions
Each serving contains approximately 150 grams of tofu. This soup can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.Freezing instructions
As tofu changes it’s texture when it’s frozen and thawed, we would not recommend freezing this soup. However, you can freeze the miso broth with nori for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, cook the tofu cubes in a tsp of sesame seed oil in a pat and add them to the boiling broth.Recipe: Nutrition
