Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Vegan Vegetable Soup Recipe:

Ingredients for kabocha soup
  • Vegetables: Use kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, napa cabbage, and green peas. Other vegetables work well, such as cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and burdock.
  • Miso Paste is flavorful, savory, and salty fermented food (soybean paste), an essential seasoning for Japanese cuisine. The darker miso ages longer and tastes less sweet than light-colored miso. White miso paste (shiro miso) is the way to go for a sweet and mild taste.
  • Soy Milk: This recipe calls for non-sugar soy milk, but you can substitute it with other types of plant-based milk, such as almond or oat milk.

    This was delicious! I didn’t have any sweet potatoes, carrots, napa cabbage, or peas, so I used a larger amount of pumpkin and added regular cabbage as well as tofu. It was amazing! I can see this pairing well with udon. Thank you for the recipe! I’m definitely making this again.

    1. Oh, that’s great, Christine!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the soup! Regular cabbage and tofu sound great. Thanks for making my recipe!

    Great flavor for both me ( vegan) and my non vegan family! I made some adjustments and still tasty- didn’t have sweet potato so used more pumpkin, used edamame instead of peas, used oat milk instead of soy milk. This will be added to my staple recipe list, thankyou!
