A 12.35-ounce frozen bowl, this soup leans stew-like, with kimchi, tofu, black rice, and vegetables suspended in a gochujang and tamari broth. Napa cabbage, radishes, red peppers, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and garlic give it the usual savory base, while the kimchi brings fermented tang. Compared with other Trader Joe’s frozen meals, the black rice gives this one more chew and body, so it eats more like a meal than a simple broth soup. Tofu adds soft cubes throughout, and the package notes 11 grams of protein. It’s vegan and meant to be heated from frozen.
