Simple Miso Soup Recipes

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the wakame in a small bowl and cover with cold water, then leave it for 5 mins until the leaves have fully expanded.
• Make the dashi (see tip below) or heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the tofu and cook for 1 min before adding the seaweed.
• Reduce the heat. Put both types of miso in a ladle or strainer and dip it into the pot. Slowly loosen up the miso with a spoon inside the ladle or strainer; the paste will slowly melt into the dashi. Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance.

SIMPLE MISO NORI SOUP

Steps:

• Pour the water into a 2-quart pot. Stir in the miso until it's no longer in chunks.
• Bring to a simmer.
• Tear the nori into pieces about 1.5" by 1.5", but don't be concerned if they're bigger or smaller than that. Add to the pot.
• Dice the tofu until you like the size of the pieces. Add to the pot.
• Best enjoyed immediately but keeps well in the fridge.

15-MINUTE MISO SOUP WITH GREENS AND TOFU

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.

SIMPLE MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Place water and dashi granules in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until dashi is dissolved.
• Add wakame and simmer until wakame is rehydrated (about 3-5 minutes).
• Meanwhile, place tofu in 4 small bowls (preferably Japanese soup bowls that have lids).
• When wakame is tender, remove soup from heat. Place miso into a small, shallow bowl or dish and add a small amount of broth. Blend into the miso. Repeat until miso mixture is somewhat runny and well mixed with the broth.
• Add miso to soup and stir. Return to heat briefly just until very hot (do not boil miso).
• Pour over tofu in bowls, garnish with green onion, cover and serve immediately. Miso soup should be served very hot.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat the dashi and whisk in the miso pastes. Bring to a simmer and add the tofu, scallions, and mirin, if using. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and kombu. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium heat. Remove the kombu and discard. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bonito flakes and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Allow the dashi to sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Discard the bonito flakes. Use immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
