MISO SOUP WITH TOFU AND BABY SPINACH



Miso Soup With Tofu and Baby Spinach image

I normally use fresh shiitake for this, as this is a more delicate soup, but if you really wanted a meaty texture you could use rehydrated dried shiitake, as they are far chewier, just be sure to remove the stems.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups water
1 tablespoon instant dashi
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 pound dried soba* (buckwheat noodles)
2 carrots, sliced thin
1/2 pound spinach, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well, spun dry, and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
8 to 10 ounces firm tofu (preferably silken), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 to 4 tablespoons miso* (fermented bean paste), or to taste, if desired
2 scallions, minced

Steps:

  • Make the broth: In a saucepan bring the water to a boil. Stir in the dashi and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and the sugar and simmer the broth for 5 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl and pour it back into the pan.
  • In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the noodles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are al dente, being careful not to overcook them, drain them in a colander, and rinse them under cold water.
  • Add the carrots to the broth and simmer them, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the tofu and simmer the soup for 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach, and it will also cook more quickly.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to spinach, you can also add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Spinach tofu soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its simple ingredients and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
