veggies, tofu, ginger, veggie broth, and pasta oh my! winter is coming and so is cozy soup szn. basically, i’ve been making cozy soups since October, but during the wintertime, soups are extra plentiful in my household. florida’s winter will probably be pretty mild, but it still gets kind of chilly and soup becomes v necessary.
there are some super cool ingredients in here that make the flavors extra bold and extra nourishing. fresh ginger adds a perfect spicy component and deep earthy flavors that really pull through in a subtle way!


what’s in this recipe + swaps:
- orange juice: fresh or store bought works
- veggie broth: i love the brand Pacific Foods
- liquid aminos: soy sauce also works
- fresh ginger: you can use lightly dried or ginger powder but flavor won’t be as good
- tofu: you can use tempeh or omit the tofu altogether, it adds a great texture though + protein
- veggies: i used zucchini, mushrooms, onions and broccoli but you can replace these with others if you want to
- sriracha: i used yellowbird from Whole Foods but any hot sauce should work too
- dijon mustard: you can swap with another kind of mustard
- avocado oil: the next best substitute is extra virgin olive oil
- garlic: i used store-bought minced but you omit it or use garlic powder

here’s some other amazing upbeetandkaleingit soups to try!
Healthy Vegan Broccoli Cheddar
Cozy Vegan Winter Soup is a dream in terms of taste, texture, ingredients AND the prep process. it’s easy as can be because all you have to do is sauté the veggies and garlic in avocado oil and then add the remaining ingredients. in a separate pot, you cook some pasta of your choosing and then when the soup is done, add the cooked pasta.
