Saute onions, carrots, cabbage, potatoes and mushrooms in oil in a large stockpot until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic powder, basil, kombu, reserved water, kasha, lima beans and sauerkraut and bring to a simmer. Remove 1/4 cup broth to a small bowl, dissolve miso in it and return mixture to stockpot.
