Miso Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings

This vibrant miso soup with sweet potato dumplings is a wonderful example of plant-based comfort food. The dish combines a delicate, umami-rich broth with substantial, hand-formed wontons filled with seasoned sweet potato. By steaming the dumplings directly over a bed of bok choy and bean sprouts, the vegetables retain their nutritious crunch while imparting their subtle flavour into the base of the soup. It is a visually striking meal that feels both wholesome and indulgent.

A perfect choice for a light midweek supper, this vegan recipe is packed with protein from the edamame beans and gut-friendly fermented miso. While making dumplings from scratch might sound intricate, using shop-bought wonton wrappers makes the process quick and accessible for home cooks. Serve this steaming bowl of goodness as a restorative lunch or a fragrant evening meal, finished with a generous scattering of fresh spring onions.

How to make Miso Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings

Heat oven to 191°C. Prick holes in potatoes. Bake on a baking sheet until soft, turning once, about 1 hour. Cool, then peel and mash. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic and shallot, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pepper flakes. Stir garlic mixture, salt and pepper into potatoes. Place bok choy, sprouts and edamame in a pot with 475ml water and set aside. Lay 1 wonton wrapper in palm of hand. Drop a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture in the centre and make a fist to gather edges. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Set dumplings on top of vegetables in pot. Bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until wrappers are translucent, 3 to 6 minutes. Divide veggies and dumplings among 4 bowls. Add 950ml water to pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add miso, stirring until it dissolves. Divide among bowls; top with spring onions.
