If you are on a diet, this is one of the best homemade vegetable soup recipes I would recommend to you. One of my favorites is kenchinjiru, a Japanese vegetable soup that is part of shojin-ryori (cuisine of Japanese Buddhist temple monks) and is filled with a cornucopia of veggies. It is filling, but doesn't sit heavily in your tummy. (And pssst! It's good for you too!) Kenchinjiru traditionally is vegan, but I've seen many recipes that use.

Instructions to make Kenchinjiru (Shojin Ryori) Japanese Veggie Soup 🌱:

1. Prepare the Dashi stock by washing and then soaking the shiitake and kombu for at least an hour. Then heat for 15 minutes but don’t boil. If you taste it should already taste delicious. This is such an important part of the recipe and gives the umami taste.
2. Cut the veg into similar sized pieces. This is important in zen cooking As it allows the veg to cook for the minimum amount of time and retain nutrients. Add a few squares of medium or firm tofu. You can use a soft tofu but add at the last minute or it will crumble.
3. Simmer the veg in the Dashi until cooked. Only use just enough to cover the veg to help retain the nutrients of the vegetables. Don’t overcook, they should still have some bite. Add soy sauce to taste if using.

It is filling, but doesn't sit heavily in your tummy. (And pssst! It's good for you too!) Kenchinjiru traditionally is vegan, but I've seen many recipes that use. As Buddhism prohibits the killing of animals, true shojin-ryori eschews all meat. It uses only local and seasonal ingredients to connect the body with nature, and focuses on balance versus strong, pungent flavors. Kenchinjiru is a clear soup with a lot of vegetables.
