DELICIOUS!!! I doubled the recipe and threw in a turmeric root, I used a yellow onion in the broth instead of the green onion, shiitake mushrooms, threw in 3 dried shrimp, added a block of silken tofu (whole as I didn’t want it to fall apart & get lost in the soup) & added a heaping teaspoon of miso paste along with a heaping teaspoon of better than chicken bouillon at the end!

Very good! Added a little sake and seaweed. Worked well!

In reply to Sas.

I wouldn’t use shiitake soaking water by itself because the flavor is quite strong and does not taste that good.
To replace the chicken broth, I prefer miso paste or better than bouillon vegetable base.
The other way to make very simple vegetarian soup base is to use mushroom powder (like the one by Lee Kum Kee). It is made with mushrooms but more balanced and tastier than shiitake soaking water.

Do you think this recipe would work with the soaking liquid from shiitakes in place of the chicken broth? 2 members of my family don’t eat meat so I need to adapt a lot of recipes!

In reply to Vinnie. We love to add miso paste to our soup too! It has a nice flavor plus it's so healthy. Glad to hear you enjoyed the dish and thanks for leaving a nice review :)

I was really looking for ideas to use up left over cabbage, and this was a very tasty soup. The only tweaks I made was add a tbsp of miso paste to the broth base, and used smoked firm tofu, both added a very deep umami and smokey flavour to the soup.

This soup is so delicious! The broth is so flavorful and all the ingredients cooked perfectly- the proportions of all the ingredients are spot on. Also was super fast!

Made this one two nights ago and it was great. In step 1 I did heat the aromatics low and slow (30 min) the resulting broth was great as was the entire soup. Will do this one again. Thank you Chef.

In reply to Justin. Add the green onion with the ginger and garlic. Sorry for the confusion! I just updated the recipe to reflect it.
