The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a soybean paste food or gel food that has a good taste and favorable smooth texture. It was found that a soybean paste food or gel food that has a good taste and favorable smooth texture can be obtained by statically heating a liquid food comprising a dietary fiber-containing soybean emulsion composition, said dietary fiber-containing soybean emulsion composition having a dietary fiber content of 2.5 wt% or more, a protein content of 25 wt% or more in terms of dry matter, a lipid content (the content of an extract with a chloroform/methanol mixture solvent) of 25 wt% or more in terms of dry matter, an average particle diameter of 10-100 µm, a moisture content of 70-90 wt%, and a viscosity of 3000 mPa•s or lower.
