Ingredients

    1 tbsp sesame oil
    5 cups water
    1 cube/packet of vegetable bouillion (enough to flavour 2 cups water)
    2-3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 cups broccoli florets and stalks, chopped into small pieces
    1 cup mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
    3 green onions, chopped
    1/4 cup miso
    2 tsp wasabi paste (optional)

Tips

Miso soup is traditionally made with seaweed, but this is a good recipe to use just using leftovers. You can add in seaweed (soak and chop it first) if you have it on hand. You can also add in other greens such as kale or bok choy.

The miso should be placed in last and not brought to a boil, as it will diminish the taste and health benefits if cooked for too long.


Directions

Heat sesame oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Add in minced garlic. Stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning.

Add in 5 cups hot water and bouillon. The bouillon should be less than enough to flavour the full 5 cups, as it is not meant to be the dominant taste. Bring the water to boil.

Chop the florets and peel the broccoli stalks to remove the woody outside. Chop the remaining stalk into small pieces. Add to soup and let boil for a couple minutes.

Add in chopped mushrooms and green onions. Allow soup to boil for a few minutes longer.

In a small bowl, combine miso, wasabi, and a scoop of the soup broth. Mix well. You may need to add some more hot water to the mixture to ensure the miso and wasabi is fully dissolved.

Add the mixture back into the soup and turn off the burner. Mix in well and serve.
