Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Chickpea miso
- 4 cups Water
- 1 piece Kombu (dried kelp)
- 7 ounces Silken tofu
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Seaweed (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Carrot
Directions
Step 1
Start by making a dashi stock. Rinse the piece of kombu under cold running water and place it in a pot with 4 cups of water. Let it soak for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While the kombu is soaking, prepare the other ingredients. Cut the silken tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the green onions thinly and shred the carrot into small matchsticks.
Step 4
After the kombu has soaked, place the pot on medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Do not let it boil to preserve the umami flavor.
Step 5
Remove the kombu from the pot once small bubbles start to appear around the edges.
Step 6
Add the shredded carrot and optional seaweed to the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes until the carrot is tender.
Step 7
Turn off the heat. Dissolve the chickpea miso paste in a small amount of warm broth in a separate bowl to make a smooth liquid, then add it to the pot, stirring well.
Step 8
Gently add the tofu cubes to the pot and let them warm through for 1-2 minutes without boiling.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
