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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dashi: Dashi is the foundation of miso soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can make your own dashi or use a store-bought version.
  • Choose the right miso: There are many different types of miso, each with its own unique flavor. For this recipe, a light or medium miso is a good choice.
  • Don't boil the miso: Miso should be added to the soup at the end of the cooking process, and it should not be boiled. Boiling will kill the beneficial bacteria in the miso and ruin its flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Miso soup is a versatile dish that can be customized with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include tofu, wakame seaweed, green onions, and mushrooms.

Conclusion:

Miso soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of probiotics. With its simple ingredients and endless possibilities for customization, miso soup is a dish that everyone can enjoy.
