    Shiitake Mushroom Soup

    This Shiitake Mushroom Soup with dumplings recipe has become a new family favourite. It's the perfect comfort food and is vegan.

    This Shiitake Mushroom soup with dumplings has become a new family favourite in my house. Nothing warms you up better on a cold night than a big bowl of comfort food and this is the perfect dish!

    It’s packed full of umami flavours and different textures from the shiitake mushrooms, vegetables and of course the dumplings. The best part is that the dumplings become filled with the beautiful shiitake broth that burst in your mouth when eating them! 

    For a perfect cosy weeknight dinner, you must try my Thai Yellow Curry. It’s super easy to make, filled with veggies and all comes together in 25 minutes!

    I absolutely love Asian food and soups and this is a great DIY easy option at home that anyone can make within 30 minutes which is also vegan.

    Ingredients to make Shiitake Mushroom Soup recipe 

    • Onion, garlic and ginger are the foundation of the stock. All sautéed in olive oil as the first step to bring out their flavours and become the base of the soup
    • Shiitake mushrooms are the star of the soup. They have such a beautiful strong umami flavour and meaty texture which stays so prominent in the dish
    • Vegetable stock is my preferred stock to use and I also prefer to use an organic brand without too much added salt. You can also use chicken broth or stock
    • Sesame oil is added to the mushrooms for its flavour and scent. You only need to add a small amount as a little goes a long way
    • Soy sauce is added to bring in saltiness and Asian flavours. I prefer to use salt reduced soy sauce
    • Baby bok choy are lovely and sweet and add so many nutrients to the soup along with a pop of green colour
    • Enoki mushrooms look like long thin strings, similar to noodles. They’re light and chewy and taste great in Asian soups
    • Dumplings are the final part of the soup. You can add your favourite filled dumplings. I usually prefer to use vegetable dumplings which make the soup vegan. I also like adding prawn dumplings occasionally too

    How to make Shiitake Mushroom Soup

    Time needed: 30 minutes.

    1. Prepare broth

      Add diced onion and sauté in a pot until translucent. Then add diced garlic and ginger and sauté for a few minutes

      Add shiitake mushrooms and once browned, add sesame oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté for a few minutes

      Pour in vegetable stock and three cups of water. Add soy sauté and simmer on a low heat with the lid on for 15 - 20 minutes

    2. Add ingredients

      Add baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms and dumplings to the pot and simmer for a few minutes until the dumplings are cooked

    3. Serve

      Add to a bowl and garnish with sliced spring onions. You can also add some extra soy sauce, chili or sriracha and enjoy 🙂

    Tips for this vegan soup

    1. Ensure to sauté the onion, garlic and ginger as the first step until cooked and translucent to bring out all their flavours
    2. When sautéing the mushroom mixture, don’t add salt until they have browned as it can create too much moisture and will end up becoming watery
    3. Don’t add the bok choy and enoki mushrooms until the very end as they only need a few minutes to cook and you don’t want them to become over cooked and mushy
    4. Make sure not to overcook the dumplings as they can pop open. All dumplings have different cooking times but they shouldn’t need more than a few minutes

      Lovedddd this! It literally took me 15 mins to do with what I had in my fridge. I just used normal white mushrooms and fried off the dumplings before putting them in the soup! So easy will definitely make it again!

      Honestly my favourite quick meal of all times! I usually eat it with fried tofu on top instead of dumplings and is so delicious!
      Definitely added to mu top favourite meals at the moment, even my boyfriend who didn’t love this kind of food a lot is now a big fan of it and wants it all the time highly recommend trying.

      Love this recipe, I used 50g of re hydrated shiitake mushrooms and 20g of re hydrated chanterelle mushrooms. Also made my own dumplings using a common recipe. I do not bother with the bok choy, enoki mushrooms or garnishes... so much easier. Thank you for the basic principle!

      Delicious! I added sliced carrots because I had some left over from a previous dish and they were going to go bad soon and they tasted great in this dish. I also did mushroom broth instead of water because I like big flavor! It was amazing, I don’t normally like bok choy but I ate all of it!

      Question though… what kind of chili do you recommend? And why type of preparation? My grocery store didn’t have any right now so I used chili crisp oil but it didn’t have quite the effect I wanted. I ended up dressing with some sriracha.

      This was a wonderful cold rainy wintery day soup for us. And, surprise to me, my protein loving husband loved it too. The mushrooms are very satisfying as a meat replacement. We were short on asian mushrooms, so had to add button mushrooms, but it was still great. Thank you for the fantastic recipe.

      This is the best mushroom soup I've ever made. I added GF ramen noodles at the end instead of the dumplings to make it gluten free and I was so happy with the result. Thank you thank you!! I now love Shiitake mushrooms!

      Loved this recipe! I’ve been on a ‘Cooking with Ayeh’ mission after coming across your content online - my grocery list has been based around your recipes this week For this recipe, I adapted it to suit the timing needed for the dumplings I purchased, and also added the bok choy as the very last step so that it had extra crunch. Would 100% make this again. Flavours were awesome and very comforting on a rainy day!
