Low Carb Vegan Tofu Napa Cabbage Shiitake Soup
Keto Vegan Tofu Napa Cabbage Shiitake Soup is that perfect combination of ingredients for the most comforting soup with an Asian twist. A vegetable broth base is seasoned with dried shiitake mushrooms (try to use dried because they are much more flavorful, but if not, fresh shiitakes will do) as they are slowly simmered into the broth. Then plenty of fresh napa cabbage is added to the pot, as well as super firm tofu. The super firm tofu holds up well in the soup, is higher in protein, and has zero net carbs.
What kind of tofu to use?
Please use super firm tofu, which is much higher in protein, zero net carbs, and holds up very well in the soup. Using tofu that has all these attributes leaves plenty of room for the net carbs that come from the vegetables.
Do I have to use the shiitakes?
No, you can remove the shiitake mushrooms if you would like to, resulting in an overall lower net carb count.
What else do I use to season the broth?
To season the broth, please use soy sauce and salt.
Suggested Pairings
Feel free to serve this soup alongside Vegan Keto desserts like Keto Vegan Tahini and Almond Cookies:

Very tasty! I used the mushroom water as the additional quart of water added with the vegetable stock, and topped with bean sprouts, scallions, cilantro, sesame oil, sriracha and a squeeze of lime. I will definitely be making this again.
