Ingredients
4 cups vegetable broth (or substitute with dashi for a traditional twist)
1 sheet nori (dried seaweed, optional; cut into large rectangles, as 1 sheet yields about 1/4 cup)
3 to 4 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste (fermented soybean or chickpea paste)
1/2 cup chopped green chard (or swap in other sturdy greens like kale, spinach, bok choy, or collard greens)
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup firm tofu, cubed (you can use silken tofu if you want that classic smooth feel)
Instructions
1-Place 4 cups of vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring it to a low simmer.
2-In a small bowl, whisk the 3 to 4 tablespoons of miso paste with a little hot water until it’s smooth this stops any clumps and keeps things silky.
3-Add the 1/2 cup chopped green chard, 1/2 cup chopped green onion, and 1/4 cup cubed firm tofu to the simmering broth; let it cook for about 5 minutes.
4-Stir in the 1 sheet of nori and mix everything together.
5-Take the pot off the heat, then add the whisked miso mixture and stir thoroughly to blend the flavors.
6-Taste it and tweak the saltiness with more miso paste or a pinch of sea salt if you like.
7-Serve it warm right away it’s best fresh, just like a just-made cocktail at a gathering!
