Miso Soup Recipe

Vegetarian miso soup with tofu

  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. shredded nori or  wakame seaweed
  • 1/3 cup miso
  • 3 green onions (scallions), chopped
  • 1/2 block firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Dash soy sauce (optional, omit for a gluten-free soup)

How to Make It

  1. Bring water to a slow simmer and add seaweed. Allow the seaweed to simmer for at least 5-6 minutes. The longer you simmer the seaweed, the less of a salty fishy flavor it will have, so keep that in mind.
  2. Reduce heat to very low and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir until miso is well dissolved. It's best not to boil the miso, as this will ruin some of its healthy properties as well as change the flavor of the soup.
  1. That's it! Making miso soup is so easy because the fantastic flavor from the miso does all the work for you. Enjoy your vegetarian and vegan miso soup.
