Ingredients

For the Miso Soup

▢ 4 cups water
▢ 1 teaspoon hondashi powder for instant dashi flavor
▢ 1/4 cup dried wakame seaweed broken into small pieces
▢ 8 ounces tofu firm or silken, drained and cut into ½-inch cubes
▢ 4 tablespoons miso paste use a gluten-free variety if needed (white, yellow, or red)
▢ 1 stalk green onion thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Combine the water, hondashi powder, dried wakame seaweed, and tofu cubes in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes until the seaweed is rehydrated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Place the miso paste into a fine-mesh strainer and lower it into the hot broth, using a spoon to gently press and dissolve the paste completely into the soup.
Stir gently to combine, then garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve your 10 minute miso soup immediately while hot.

Notes

For the best flavor and to preserve the nutritional benefits of miso, do not boil the soup after adding the miso paste. You can easily adjust the saltiness by adding more or less miso paste to your personal taste. While silken tofu is traditional, feel free to use any firmness you have on hand.
