Ingredients
4 cups water
1 tsp hondashi powder
¼ cup wakame seaweed (cut into small pieces)
8 oz tofu, drained and cut into cubes
4 tbsp gluten-free miso paste (white, yellow, or red)
1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat the Broth
Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add hondashi powder, wakame seaweed, and tofu cubes.
2. Simmer
Return to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook for about 3 minutes until wakame is fully rehydrated.
3. Add Miso Paste
Turn off the heat. Dissolve miso paste into the soup using a strainer or by mixing it with a small amount of hot broth first, then stirring it back in.
4. Finish and Serve
Add sliced green onions and serve hot immediately.
Notes
Do not boil miso directly, as high heat can reduce its flavor and benefits.
White miso gives a milder taste, while red miso is stronger and saltier.
Add mushrooms, spinach, or noodles for extra heartiness.
Use silken tofu for a softer texture or firm tofu for more bite.
