Japanese Vegetable Soup (Kenchinjiru) was originally a Buddhist dish. Root vegetables and tofu are sautéed and cooked in flavoured dashi broth. It is quite filling but you don’t need to worry about the calories.If you use vegetarian dashi stock such as konbu dashi or shiitake dashi, it becomes 100% vegetarian.Servings are based on a standard Japanese soup bowl. If serving as a Western style soup, it serves 2-3 bowls of soup.
