Ingredients
- 0.5 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
- 6 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced, about 3 cups
- 5 cups water
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ¼ cup red miso paste
- ½ cup chopped spinach
Instructions
- Rinse the dried shiitake mushrooms, then put them in a small bowl with a cup of hot water. Allow them to soak for 20 minutes.
- In a large pot, combine the re-hydrated mushrooms along with their soaking liquid, sliced portobello mushrooms, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 15-20 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.

Notes
- To Freeze: You can freeze this miso soup in a freezer safe container for up to two months. Defrost over night in the fridge.
- Mushroom Stems: Shiitake stems are tough and woody, and should be removed before using them. However, most dried shiitake mushrooms have the stems already removed.

- Rinse: Dried mushrooms should be thoroughly rinsed before soaking, to remove any debris. I use a colander.

- Soak: Don't skip the rehydrating step. This mushroom miso soup comes together very quickly, but you do need plan for soaking the dried mushrooms for 15 minutes. And the soaking liquid adds a delicious extra layer of umami flavor to the soup.

Miso paste: It's important to stir in the miso paste at the end of cooking time. Never boil miso, because boiling will damage the aromatic notes and kill the probiotic properties. Storage: Mushroom miso soup will keep, stored in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
