Categories     Appetizer     Entree     Side

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.

MISO SOUP



Miso Soup image

Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently-sized jars or packets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of miso: There are many different types of miso, each with its own unique flavor and texture. For this recipe, a light-colored miso, such as white miso or yellow miso, is best.
  • Use dashi stock for a flavorful broth: Dashi is a Japanese soup stock made from kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). It adds a rich, umami flavor to miso soup.
  • Add your vegetables and tofu last: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Don't boil the miso: Boiling the miso will destroy its flavor. Instead, bring the soup to a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Stir in the miso paste until it is dissolved.
  • Serve miso soup immediately: Miso soup is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Miso soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. With its simple ingredients and versatile flavor, miso soup is a perfect addition to any meal.
