]]> A good soup usually starts off with a vegetable or chicken broth base, but when it comes to plant-based soups, it’s not all about the broths. The secret lies in the details, and with these tips—your vegan soups won’t taste bland ever again.

Salt

Salt adds a much-needed flavor when you cook with vegetables. Vegetable soups often use beans to give protein, and salt helps bring out the unique flavors in beans.

Friday Night In! Cozy socks, movie marathon + Creamy Miso Ramen bowls. Yes or No? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Made these slurpy soup bowls for dinner this week and they where a HUGE hit with the whole family. ? Recipe can be found in the Fall 2020 issue of @forksoverknives magazine. I never would have thought to add non dairy milk to our miso broth, but it turned out so delicious! I’ll definitely be making this quick and easy meal again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✖BOWL DETAILS: I used @oceanshalo ramen here, which we loved. For delicious GLUTEN FREE vegan ramen, we love @lotusfoods! (not sponsored – just wanted to share – everyone should be able to have a bowl of noodz ? ?) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #soupseason #souprecipe #vegansoup #veganramen #misosoup #veganfamily #veganfood #forksoverknives #forksoverknivesmagazine #wfpb #wholefoodplantbased #oilfreevegan #wholefoodvegan #easyveganrecipes #vegannoodles #betterthantakeout

Water

Water makes the base of soups—and a key thing is to only add it once. Even if your soup is a bit thick, don’t add it again. Also, remember to season the soup with salt, pepper, and dried spices.

Texture

When cutting the vegetables, make sure you keep them in large pieces so they can stay a bit crispy. When you’ve finished the soup, top it with seeds or salad greens.

Spices

For a rich flavor, make sure you add spices. If you want a savory/umami flavor—add nutritional yeast, and for a smoky flavor—add smoked paprika.
