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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen or wilted spinach.
  • Choose firm tofu: Firm tofu will hold its shape better in the soup and absorb more of the broth's flavor.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water and helps it to absorb more of the broth's flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: A good quality vegetable broth will add a lot of flavor to the soup.
  • Add some spice: A little bit of spice, such as red pepper flakes or chili powder, can add a nice depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Spinach tofu soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and tofu. With its vibrant green color and savory flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
