Ingredients
  • 1 package (12 ounces) extra firm tofu
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 cups shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • ¼ cup white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
Directions
  1. Take the tofu out of the package and place it in a shallow bowl. Layer a paper towel on top, then a flat plate, then something heavy like a cast-iron skillet. This will press the excess water out of the tofu. Let it sit for 15 minutes. When it is done, drain the water it is sitting in and chop it into cubes.
  2. Pour the broth in a soup pot and bring it to a boil.
  3. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and slice. Chop the scallions.
  4. Once the broth is boiling, ladle out about 1 cup and put it in a small bowl. Add the miso and stir until it is dissolved.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook on medium high for 5 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat to a simmer. Add the dissolved miso paste, soy sauce, ginger and scallions. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Once the soup has simmered, you're ready to serve and enjoy.
