There’s just something so comforting about a warm bowl of udon soup, don’t you think?

I remember the first time I made this dish; it was a chilly evening, and I wanted something that would wrap me in warmth like a snug blanket.

I love experimenting with different veggies and herbs, and this recipe really allows those flavors to shine.

Plus, it’s a great way to use up whatever you have in your fridge – a win-win!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to switch up the veggies based on what you have on hand. Broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas are also great in this soup! Miso adds such a lovely umami flavor, and you can find it in most grocery stores these days.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to keep a batch of homemade vegetable broth on hand for recipes like this – it makes a world of difference!
  • For a protein boost, you can add edamame or chickpeas along with the other veggies.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add a few handfuls of spinach or kale for extra greens.
  • If I'm feeling fancy, I might garnish with some toasted nori or sesame seeds.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you reheat, you might need to add a splash of water or broth to loosen it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just keep the noodles separate until you're ready to eat, so they don’t get mushy.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by cooking the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, heat a splash of water or vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and miso paste. Stir until the miso is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the pot. Allow them to simmer for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  5. 5

    Next, toss in the chopped bok choy and cubed tofu, letting everything simmer for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Now, add the cooked udon noodles and stir gently to combine. Let it all heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you want a bit more depth, add a splash more soy sauce or a pinch of salt.

  8. 8

    Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Don’t forget a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like some heat!
