Green Tea Miso Soup
This healthy antioxidant rich recipe is from Cheryl Forberg's fabulous book, Positively Ageless.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fat-free, low sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 green tea bags
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped, peeled fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons sweet white miso (see factoid)
- 4 ounces firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, cut in fine ribbons
- 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh tomato
- 1 green onion (white and green parts), very thinly sliced, for garnish
Directions
- Heat 1 cup of the stock to boiling. Remove from the heat. Add the tea bags and steep for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Set aside the tea/stock mixture.
- Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes, or until just starting to brown. Add the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the remaining 3 cups stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in miso until dissolved. Add the tofu, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, and the reserved tea/stock mixture and simmer for 1 minute. Serve warm, garnished with the green onions.
- miso Factoid: Non-pasteurized miso not only contains beneficial bacteria and their enzymes (probiotics), it also contains richer flavors and aromas that are otherwise lost in the process of pasteurization.
