Nourishing Shiitake, Miso, Spinach + Tofu Soup

1 · Feb 2, 2021 ·

It’s soup season, so you may be looking for a comforting recipe to add to your rotation. We feel you! There’s nothing like a bowl of warm, nourishing soup when you need to brave the cold day after day. 

But let’s face it – most soup recipes take lots of prep time (all that chopping!) and an eternity of simmering. While that’s great for the weekend, no one has time for simmering on a weeknight. And that’s where miso soup comes in: it’s basically done in 15 minutes, but it still packs plenty of nutrients, and definitely has that comforting umami taste we all love. 

Speaking of soup goodness that doesn’t take an eternity, here are 5 other recipes we literally can’t stop making:

Nourishing Shiitake, Miso, Spinach + Tofu soup

The recipe for this nourishing mushroom and greens miso soup comes from a new cookbook, Asian Green: Everyday plant-based recipes inspired by the East by Ching-He Huang (coming out next week!). The book is a great resource for simple, healthy home cooking with an Asian twist. All recipes are plant based, with lots of options for tofu and seitan, as well as drinks, desserts, and everything in between.  

From the author: “This broth is so quick to prepare and makes a comforting and nutritious dinner. It can be served as a starter or as a main if you’re after something light. If you have a larger appetite, add some soybean noodles (or ramen noodles of your choice) at the end to make this more substantial.” Gotta love a recipe that can be adapted for different needs! 

Scroll down for the miso tofu soup recipe and consider buying Asian Green on amazon or wherever you buy books.
