Ingredients
  • 4 C water
  • 5 tbs white miso paste
  • 1 overflowing C sliced mushrooms (I bought mine pre-sliced)
  • ¾ C diced tofu
  • ΒΌ C sliced green onion (or one large piece, sliced)
  • Black and red pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Warm up 1 cup of your water and pour into a small mixing bowl. Add the miso paste and stir well until miso paste is completely dissolved in the water.
  2. Place large pot on stove and add remaining 3 cups of water, bring to a simmer.
  3. Add the miso paste water to the pot. Add mushrooms, tofu, and green onion. Let simmer 5 minutes.
  4. Turn the heat down to low, taste soup. BE CAREFUL IT IS HOT. Add black and red pepper if you prefer it. Taste again. Adjust spices as necessary
  5. Variations: You could add some nutritional yeast. You could switch up the ratios of tofu and mushrooms. You could add some green chard or collards to the soup as well. The possibilities are really endless with this soup. I made mine rather mild, you could also add more or less miso paste to your personal taste.
