I made this delicious mushroom miso soup! I started with this recipe from Pinterest, but adapted it to be my own below:
Ingredients (serves 2)
1 Tbs. oil (olive, vegetable, corn, coconut) ** I used olive oil!
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. minced ginger
big pinch crushed red chile flakes
big handful sliced mushrooms ** I used 4 Cups of portebello & oyster mushrooms sliced
3 c. chicken or vegetable stock (or low-sodium broth) **I used 5 C vegie stock
3 oz. soba noodles **I used spinach rice noodles
1 Tbs. soy sauce
big pinch sugar ** No sugar necessary!
2 handfuls baby spinach
6 oz. tofu, pressed & cut into cubes *12 oz.tofu
1 scallions, thinly sliced
** I added 2 T. Miso (dilute the miso in 6 oz. hot water until dissolved)
Instructions
Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add garlic, ginger, and chile flakes; saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms and continue to saute until they are tender and starting to turn golden in spots. Set aside.
Bring chicken *vegetable* stock to a boil, and then add the sobarice noodles, soy sauce, sugar, and reserved mushroom mixture; simmer for 4 minutes, add miso & stir. Cook for 15 more minutes on simmer. Remove from heat.
Put one handful of the baby spinach in the bottom of each of the bowls and divide the tofu evenly over the spinach.
Carefully lift half of the noodles out of the pot and place in one of the bowls, and then do the same with the other half. Divide the hot broth and mushrooms evenly amongst the bowls and let sit for 1 minute before stirring everything around.
Sprinkle with the scallion and eat right away!
