Instructions

Prep Your Ingredients

  • Start by cubing your tofu, slicing your green onions, and preparing your mushrooms if you're adding those.

Dissolve the Miso Paste

  • In a small bowl, mix your miso paste with a bit of warm water to create a smooth paste. This'll ensure it blends into the soup without clumps.

Bring the Liquids to a Boil

Add the Goodies

Lower the Heat

  • Reduce the heat to low. We want to keep things nice and gentle – NO boiling miso here!

Mix in the Miso Paste

  • Take a ladleful of the hot broth from the pot and mix it into your miso paste until it's smooth and creamy. Then, gradually pour it back into the pot, stirring gently to combine.
  • Give your soup a taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Garnish and Serve

  • Ladle your beautiful miso soup into bowls, sprinkle on the sliced green onions, and even a few pieces of torn nori as you wish. It's ready to be enjoyed!
