Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons Miso paste (white, red, or mellow) Any type will work, but white is preferred for a milder flavor.
  • 1 cup Soft tofu, diced Optional but adds creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons Green onions or spring onions, thinly sliced For garnish.
  • 2 tablespoons Dried seaweed (wakame or any available) Will expand when added to hot broth.
  • 4 cups Low-sodium veggie or chicken broth Can substitute with water.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce For added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the broth in a medium pot until hot but not boiling.
  2. Add the seaweed (and optional mushrooms or carrots) to the pot and let them soften.
  3. In a small bowl, combine miso paste with a ladle of hot broth and whisk until smooth.
  4. Stir the miso mixture back into the pot along with the diced tofu and green onions.
  5. Warm through, but do not boil after adding the miso to preserve flavor.

Notes

This soup is flexible; feel free to add leftover veggies, noodles, or proteins like chicken or egg. Serve it with sushi or rice for a full meal.
