A steaming bowl of this starts with a deeply savory kombu-and-dried-shiitake broth, brightened with fresh ginger and a warm hit of turmeric for color and a subtle earthy kick. Fresh shiitakes go in next, simmered until silky, followed by a spoonful of dissolved miso whisked in for that rounded, umami depth. Cubes of silken tofu add a soft, custardy contrast, while a touch of tamari and a final drizzle of toasted sesame oil bring everything into balance. A scatter of scallion greens on top finishes it with a fresh, sharp bite. It's a comforting, plant-forward bowl of soup that comes together fast and fits easily into a vegan lineup. Simple, nourishing, and full of layered flavor in every spoonful.

Combine the kombu, dried shiitake mushrooms, and water in a medium saucepan. Let soak for 10 minutes, then set over medium heat and bring just to a bare simmer — small bubbles forming at the edges, not a rolling boil.
Remove the kombu with tongs and discard it. Continue to simmer the dried shiitakes for 5 minutes, then lift them out with a slotted spoon and discard. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl, then return it to the saucepan.
