This recipe uses Shitake mushrooms, broccoli, and carrots but a variety of vegetables could be substituted such as, zucchini, leeks, peas, or spinach.
Ingredients
- 7 cups water
- Oil for sauteing
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 cup shitake mushrooms sliced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon chopped ginger
- 1-2 bouillon cubes
- 5-6 tablespoons miso any style, to taste
- Tamari (soy sauce) to taste
Directions
Bring water to a boil. Meanwhile sauté garlic and vegetables in olive or vegetable oil until slightly tender. Add vegetables and bullion cube(s) to water. Remove 2/3 cup of the hot water with a cup and mix 5 tablespoons miso in with a fork. Pour water with miso into soup. Turn heat down so the soup does not boil again (boiling miso can destroy beneficial nutrients). Add tamari to taste.
Serves 4.
