Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups vegetable broth ((use dashi for more traditional miso soup // see notes above))
1 sheet nori ((dried seaweed // optional // cut into large rectangles // 1 sheet yields 1/4 cup))
3-4 Tbsp white or yellow miso paste
1/2 cup chopped green chard or other sturdy green
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup firm tofu ((cubed // use silken tofu for more traditional miso soup))

Steps:

  • Place vegetable broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a low simmer.
  • In the meantime, place miso (starting with lesser end of range) into a small bowl, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth. This will ensure it doesn't clump when added to the soup later. Set aside.
  • To the broth add chard (or other greens of choice), green onion, and tofu (if using silken, add at the end of cooking) and cook for 5 minutes. Then add nori and stir. Remove from heat, add miso mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Taste and add more miso or a pinch of sea salt if desired. Serve warm. Best when fresh.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 tablespoons red miso (or more to taste)
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, divided
1/2 pound firm tofu, cut into cubes
1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed
4 large radishes, thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup pea shoots, sunflower sprouts or radish sprouts
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Blend miso with garlic, ginger, 1 cup cool water and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a food processor until smooth. Transfer miso broth to a bowl; stir in 2 cups cool water. Divide broth, tofu, snow peas, radishes and scallions among 4 bowls. Toss pea shoots with remaining 1/2 tablespoon vinegar and oil; garnish each bowl before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality dashi: The quality of your dashi will greatly affect the flavor of your miso soup. If you can, use homemade dashi. If you're using store-bought dashi, choose one that is made with high-quality ingredients.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your miso soup the best flavor. If you can, use organic vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender.
  • Use high-quality miso paste: The quality of your miso paste will also greatly affect the flavor of your miso soup. Choose a miso paste that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't boil the miso paste: Boiling the miso paste will kill the beneficial bacteria and enzymes that give it its health benefits. Add the miso paste to the soup just before serving and stir until dissolved.
  • Garnish your miso soup: Garnish your miso soup with fresh herbs, such as green onions, cilantro, or shiso leaves. You can also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil.

Conclusion:

Miso soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious bowl of miso soup at home.
