No reviews

A delightful and comforting traditional Japanese soup made with miso paste, tofu, and wakame seaweed, perfect for a quick light lunch or starter.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon hondashi powder
  • ¼ cup wakame seaweed (cut or broken into smaller ½ inch pieces)
  • 8 ounces tofu (drained and cut into ½ inch cubes or smaller)
  • 4 tablespoons gluten-free miso paste (white, yellow, or red miso)
  • 1 stalk green onion (thinly sliced, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the water to a boil in a pot. Add the hondashi powder, wakame seaweed, and tofu cubes.
  2. Bring the soup back up to a boil, then reduce the heat to a high simmer. Let the soup simmer for about 3 minutes or until the wakame seaweed is rehydrated.
  3. Turn off the heat and use a strainer to dissolve the miso paste into the soup. If you don’t have a strainer, scoop out a small amount of soup to dissolve the miso paste, then add it back into the soup.
  4. Add the sliced green onions and serve the miso soup while hot.

Notes

Dissolve miso paste off the heat to preserve its health benefits. Adjust the miso paste to taste.
