Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
dried wakame (seaweed)
-
1
medium yellow onion
-
1
inch of fresh ginger root
-
1
carrot
-
5-6
shiitake mushrooms
-
1
bunch of baby bok choy, spinach, watercress, other green (optional)
-
2-3 tablespoons
of naturally fermented miso (I used this one)
Directions
-
Soak dried wakame in small bowl of water to rehydrate for about 10 minutes.
-
Peel and cut onion, carrot, and ginger into thin slices.
-
Cut ends off mushrooms and slice caps into thin slices.
-
Fill a medium pot with about 5 cups of water, toss in onion and ginger and bring to a boil.
-
Drain the wakame.
-
Reduce to a simmer, add mushrooms, carrots, and wakame and cook for about 10 minutes
-
Toss in greens and let them wilt.
-
Turn off heat — it’s important when adding the miso that you don’t use boiling water because it will kill the poor little live enzymes and probiotics!
-
Ladel about a cup of the broth into a small bowl, add 1 tbsp of miso paste, and whisk until it’s broken up and dissolved into the broth. Pour the miso-d broth back to the big pot of soup and stir to combine.
-
Taste it, and keep repeating the process in step 8 until the soup is to your desired miso-yness. I used 3 tbsp.
Because I’m crazy, I also added in another tablespoon of grated ginger to the soup before serving.

You can also add cooked soba noodles for a more filling meal.
