Superfood Miso Soup
This Superfood miso soup uses a homemade dashi stock made with dried kombu (kelp), shiitake mushrooms, and bonito flakes. Add soft tofu, lots of healthy spinach, scallions, and miso results in a much heartier miso soup than your favorite Japanese restaurant or sushi place.

Ingredients
- 2 kombu 6-inch square pieces
- 6 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 12 cups water (2.8 L)
- 1 cup bonito flakes (Katsuobushi)
- 12 ounces tofu 340g, soft
- 5 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 scallions (chopped)
Instructions
- Rinse the kombu and dried shiitake mushrooms under cold running water, and then add to a medium stockpot. Add 12 cups water, and allow to soak for 1 hour.
- After soaking, place the pot over medium heat, and allow the stock to come up to just a simmer. Fish out the kombu, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the bonito flakes. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the resulting dashi stock into a medium saucepan to make your soup (reserving the shiitake mushrooms), and place it over medium low heat. Cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes and set aside. Whisk the miso into the stock until fully incorporated.
- Add the tofu, spinach, and scallions. Slice a couple of your shiitake and add those to the pot as well. Simmer for another couple minutes and serve.
