Vegetarian cabbage soup ingredients.
  • Vegetables: I use cabbage, carrot, and onion, but you can use almost any vegetables you have on hand, such as mushrooms, daikon, broccoli, or tomatoes.
  • Dashi powder: I use kombu dashi powder to keep this soup vegetarian. You can also substitute vegetable stock.
  • Soy sauce and salt: The vegetables add natural sweetness, while the soy sauce and salt bring all the flavors together.
