Soba Miso Soup with Chickpea Tofu {vegan}

There is nothing quite so comforting as a bowl of soup on a cold winters day.

And, at the moment at least, my soup of choice is a big hearty bowl of this Soba Miso Soup with Chickpea Tofu.

This Miso Soup wonderfully comforting, and ready to eat in under 10 minutes.

And it’s also so simple to throw together that even with the fogginess of a head cold clouding my thinking I was able to assemble a bowl of Soba Miso Soup to slurp on as I snuggled under a blanket with a marathon of Downtown Abbey.

In most miso soups you’ll find tofu. Normally I would leave the tofu out of my miso soup, as I’m not a tofu lover.

But after discovering this wonderful Burmese Chickpea Tofu, I’ve been adding it to everything. And it has been a delicious, filling and welcome addition.

The chickpea tofu stands up well to the broth, without disintegrating, adding yet another contrast in texture in the soup.

There’s the crunch of the snow peas and spring onions, the pillowy softness of the tofu and the slight chewiness of the soba and the mushrooms.
