Basic Miso Soup

Recipe #115804 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Vino Girl
Apr 7, 2005

This recipe was my introduction to making miso soup. I love recipes like this that encourage you to be creative and make it your own - something many of us will do anyway! The instructions include many add-in ideas. I put spinach, shiitake mushrooms, and extra green onions in mine, using the water I soaked the mushrooms in for some of the water called for in the recipe. From Eden Organic Foods.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons wakame seaweed or 1 teaspoon wakame seaweed, flakes
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrot, diced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mugi miso (OR 1 1/2 Tbsp plus 1/2 tsp Hacho, Genmai or Shiro Miso)
  • 3 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced

Directions

  1. 1
    Rinse wakame; soak in cold water to cover for 5 minutes and dice, or if using flakes, add directly.
  2. 2
    Bring water to a boil. Add onions and wakame; simmer 3 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the carrots and simmer 5 more minutes; reduce heat to very low.
  4. 4
    Add miso and simmer 2 minutes (do not boil after adding miso). Garnish with green onions.
  5. 5
    Optional Ingredients: fresh or dried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, leafy greens, daikon, lotus root, leeks, round or root vegetables, cooked noodles or grains.
