Ingredients

  • piece kombu
    1
  • water
    4 c
  • wakame dried seaweed
    3 tbsp
  • white miso paste
    ¼ c
  • chopped green onion
    ⅓ c
  • silken tofu

    cubed

    6 oz
  • tamari
    to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Gently rinse the kombu piece. Place it in a medium pot with the water and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Don’t let it boil, or the kombu flavor will turn bitter.

  2. 2

    Soak the wakame in a small bowl of warm water for at least 5 minutes to rehydrate.

  3. 3

    Remove the kombu from the soup. In a small bowl, stir the miso paste together with some of the hot broth until the mixture is smooth, then stir it back into the soup.

  4. 4

    Drain the wakame and add it to the soup pot along with the green onions and tofu. Simmer over very low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with tamari and serve.
