In reply to Melissa. Melissa, I love your version of this soup, so happy this was able to inspire. TBH, I really like the challenge of looking at what I have and coming up with something new, without making an extra trip to the store. Stay safe and be well!

Wow this was so good! I didn’t have any fresh potatoes so I used approx half a bag of frozen shredded hash browns, about 1/3 cup leftover homemade vegan cashew cream cheese, a few splashes of leftover coconut milk, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons veg bouillon, & 1/2 a can of Northern white beans along with the spices. I simmered it all for a few minutes then blended it thoroughly in my Vitamix, returned to the pot and stirred in the rest of the beans. I had steamed the tempeh and made the marinade in the morning and it turned out so smoky and delicious in the oven. What a comforting meal! Thank you!

In reply to Nikki Kamminga. Nikki, best wishes as you modify your diet. This is exactly what I wanted to encourage with this post -- use what you've got and what works for you. I hope your soup is delicious! xo

This looks delicious. I’ve just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, so I’ll have to leave out the potatoes and use less starchy veg (my blood sugars don’t tolerate them well). I’ll probably try butternut squash and aubergine which my husband managed to pick up for me today! Will let you know how I get along.

In reply to shaheen.

Shaheen, agreed! Glad you have some tempeh on hand. I luckily grabbed a ton on my last grocery run over a week ago, and glad I did. It’s so versatile!

If you don’t ave hoisin, no problem … just leave it out. Your smokey tempeh will still be delicious. Enjoy!

Hi Erin,
Good to hear from you and to read that your keeping well. I haven’t blogged in a long while but am finding at this time that blogging = – whether or not anyone else is reading, is a good distraction for me.

I have some cubed tempeh in a jar screaming to be used, and would like to make your topping (even as a savoury nibble) but don’t have hoisin – what else would be a good substitute?

Warmest of wishes
