Green Tea Miso Soup

 

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
