Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups water or kombu dashi
- 1/2 cup of tofu cut into 1/4 ” cubes
- 1 tsp dried wakame or dulse flakes
- 3 Tbsp miso paste
- 2 spring onions (1/4 cup), chopped
Instructions
- See the section above for making kombu dashi. It’s not necessary, but it will add a lot of flavor and nutrients to this soup.
- Bring the water (or broth) to a boil. Add in the tofu and dried wakame and turn off the heat. Allow the soup to cool slightly while you mix the miso paste.
- To add the miso paste to the soup, remove 1 cup of broth from the pot. Mix in the miso paste into the cup of broth until it’s fully dissolved.
- Stir the miso into the cooling soup. Garnish with spring onions and serve!
Notes
- Wakame
is seaweed flakes that are often used for seaweed salad.
- I realize that specialty Japanese ingredients aren’t sitting around in everyone’s pantry. If seaweed isn’t your thing, then skip the kombu broth and wakame, and just use 4 cups of vegetable broth instead.
