Packed with protein from the tofu and vitamins from the broccoli, this soup is both healthy and delicious.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp miso
50g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 onion
5g
4 cups vegetable broth
960g
2 tbsp ginger
11g
3 oz tofu
81g
1.25 cups broccoli
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Grate the ginger.
- Cut the tofu into small cubes.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat a splash of vegetable broth over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and grated ginger. Cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
3. Add the Broth:
- Pour the remaining vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
4. Add Veggies and Tofu:
- Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the cubed tofu and broccoli florets.
- Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
5. Incorporate the Miso:
- In a small bowl, place the miso paste. Ladle a small amount of the hot soup broth into the bowl and whisk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour the miso mixture back into the soup pot and stir well to combine.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Allow the soup to gently heat through for another 1-2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil, as this can kill the beneficial probiotics in the miso.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your warming, nutritious Vegetable Miso Soup with Tofu and Broccoli!

Tips:

- Start by sautéing the onion and garlic in a little bit of oil until they become translucent. This will help to enhance their flavors.

- Add the ginger next, and sauté for an additional minute to release its aroma.

- Incorporate the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the miso. Ensure the miso is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps.

- Cook the broccoli only until it's tender yet still crisp, to retain its nutrients and a bit of crunch.

- For best texture, add the tofu towards the end of cooking. This helps to keep it firm and avoid overcooking.

- If you want a bit of extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil.

- Serve hot and, if desired, garnish with sliced green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

This vegetable miso soup with tofu and broccoli is a simple yet flavorful dish that can easily become a staple in your meal rotation. Its warm, umami-rich broth combined with nutritious vegetables makes it a perfect meal to nourish your body and soul. Give it a try and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delightful soup.
