Directions
Heat the water with the carrots and wakame until it boils (about 10 minutes).
Turn the heat to medium and add the tofu, shallots, celery and diakon radish, heat for 2-5 more minutes.
Take the pot off heat and remove about half a cup of broth from the pot--add the miso paste to this broth and stir until blended. Then, return the miso broth to the pot. (this is the traditional way to add miso to soup--it preserves the healthy probiotics in the miso)
Stir the soup and add a few teaspoons of tamari and/or ume plum vinegar if desired.

Your hearty miso soup is ready to serve!

*feel free to try other vegetables in this soup--mushrooms, kale and bok choy are some tasty options.
