Feel Better Miso & Veg Soup
Total Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- Servings: 4
- 4 tablespoons oil (such as grapeseed, coconut or olive)
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 6 -8 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
- 1 cup green peas (frozen is easiest)
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1 cup spinach, chopped (or any leafy green)
- 2 -4 tablespoons miso, divided
Recipe
- 1 warm the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes.
- 2 turn the heat down to low, add the garlic and sauté about 2-3 more minutes. add ginger, cumin, soy sauce, and sesame oil -- let that all saute together for another 2-3 minutes.
- 3 turn heat back up to medium, add water, mushrooms, peas and carrot.
- 4 simmer covered for 5 minutes, or as long as it takes to cook the veg, adding in the spinach or leafy greens for the last minute of cooking.
- 5 scoop out and discard the shiitake mushrooms at this point, or take them out and chop them up and put them back in the soup.
- 6 how much miso you use in this last step is going to depend on your tastes, and some miso tastes saltier than others. my preference is 1/2 tbsp shiro miso to 1 cup soup. add miso to each empty bowl, ladel in the soup and mix well to fully dissolve the miso.
