Mushroom And Miso Soup
serves 2-4
Recipe from cookthink
This classic Japanese soup with miso paste and shiitake mushrooms is eaten any time of day. But if you're not a miso-in-the-morning kind of person, it is a healthy light lunch or part of a filling and umami-filled dinner.
ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 green onions, white and tender green parts, thinly sliced
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 thumb ginger, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 serrano, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
timer

total: 35 minutes
tools
large saucepan
ladle
medium bowl

instructions
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the onions and mushrooms, sprinkle lightly with salt and stir. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are soft, 8-10 minutes.
2. Add the ginger and broth. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Ladle 1/2 cup of the broth into a medium bowl, then whisk in the miso paste so that there are no lumps. Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir. Simmer 5 minutes more. Stir in the sliced chiles and cilantro, and serve.
