Treat your ingredients with care...
- Miso paste — Make sure to whisk the miso paste with a little vegetable broth to create a smooth paste before adding it to the soup. This will help prevent any lumps from forming.
- Cumin seeds — Toasting the cumin seeds in the hot oil before adding other ingredients will enhance their flavor and aroma.
- Cauliflower florets — Cut the cauliflower into small florets to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier version, increase the number of green chilies or add a pinch of red chili powder.
- Customize the vegetables according to your preference. You can add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for variation.
- Adjust the salt and soy sauce according to your taste preference.
- Serve the soup with a side of warm naan bread or steamed rice for a complete meal.
