Ingredients

For the Dashi Broth

  • 4 cups water
  • 1 oz dried kombu
  • 5 dried mushrooms (shiitake or porcini)

For Red Miso Soup

  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 block extra firm or super firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon red miso
  • 2 leaves fresh kale, destemmed and chopped

Instructions

For Dashi Broth

  • Bring water to a boil. Add kombu and let simmering for 20 minutes. Remove the kombu. Add dried mushrooms and let simmer to 15 minutes. Remove and reserve the mushrooms.

For the Red Miso Soup

  • You should have roughly 2 ½ cups of liquid remaining. Add in sliced carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add in tofu cubes and cook for 3-5 minutes or until carrots have softened.
  • While that's cooking, into a skillet, add sesame oil and once heated add green onions, stirring frequently. Add in the garlic, and continue to cook for 1 minute. Then add the reserved mushrooms and saute for another minute. Remove from heat.
  • Into a bowl, add one cup of broth with 1 tablespoon red miso and whisk together. Add in some of the kale* and some of the cooked vegetables. Top with black sesame seeds if desired.
